You may sometimes see these rugs described as rag rugs or chindi rugs.
They are, in practice, the same type of rug — just spoken about in different ways.

The word chindi comes from India and refers to leftover or recycled fabric. Traditionally, chindi rugs were woven from cotton offcuts, giving them their distinctive texture and gentle variation in colour. Over time, the same style became known more broadly as a rag rug, especially in the UK.

What that means for you

The rugs in this collection are:

• Handwoven from strips of recycled cotton
• Flat-woven, durable, and designed for everyday living
• Naturally varied, with subtle shifts in tone and texture
• Made to feel lived-in rather than perfect

Whether you call them a rag rug or a chindi rug, you’re choosing a piece that values reuse, craft, and quiet character over uniformity.

Why we use the term “rag rug”

We describe these rugs as rag rugs because it’s the most familiar and straightforward term for most UK homes. Where helpful, we also reference chindi rug for those who recognise the traditional name.

Nothing changes about the rug itself — only the language around it.

A considered choice for calm spaces

These rugs aren’t designed to dominate a room.
They sit comfortably underfoot, soften hard floors, and add warmth without visual noise. Each one carries small imperfections and variations — reminders that it was made slowly, from materials already in the world.

No two are exactly alike, and that’s the point.
