Neutral greys in a contemporary meets Zapotec flavour, this flatweave accent rug is as handsome as it is striking. Using classic colours in a bold design, it is certain to be the centrepiece of any space. Handwoven in a flat weave of 100% sheep’s wool, it is soft yet extremely durable and the perfect accent for those high traffic areas.
Created by a cooperative of powerful women, these products are designed to reflect their Zapotec roots. Each rug takes one full week to weave after a lengthy process of collecting, carding and hand dying locally sourced wool using native plant extracts. All of this in a fair-trade environment.
We recommend a rug underlay to reduce slip and wrinkles.
The beauty of both handmade and natural materials means no two pieces will ever be identical. There may be small differences in pattern, colour, shape or texture to what you see in the photo.
