Description
The Art of the Handwoven Braid
Unlike machine made alternatives, this runner features a hand harvested bast fibre construction. The jute stalks are softened in water and combed into silky strands before being braided into this resilient, low profile design. The result is a rug that feels as good as it looks, with a raw texture that suits both modern and traditional interiors.
Why the 75 x 205 cm Size Works:
- The galley kitchen: At 75 cm wide, it gives good coverage in front of cabinets and helps protect floors in busy areas.
- Bedside luxury: The 205 cm length works well with a king or super king bed, giving your feet a softer landing each morning.
- Compact hallways: A good fit for shorter entryways or apartment corridors where a longer runner would feel too large.
Sustainable Luxury and Pet Friendly Living
Jute is a biodegradable natural fibre that is often chosen for homes that use more natural materials. Its natural structure also makes it anti static.
Is it suitable for pets? Yes. This tight braid is less likely to snag than looped pile rugs, and its natural blonde tones can help disguise pet hair and light debris.
Maintenance and Care Guidelines
- Spills: Jute is absorbent, so blot liquids straight away with a clean, dry cloth.
- Cleaning: Vacuum regularly on a low setting. Avoid using a rotating beater bar to help protect the hand braided fibres.
- Natural sprouting: Small loose fibre ends may appear over time. Trim them with scissors and do not pull them.
- Movement: For hard floors such as wood, tile or stone, we suggest using a non slip underlay.
