Rag Rugs
Our rag rugs are made using cotton and recycled textile materials, creating rugs that feel soft underfoot while remaining durable enough for real homes.
Rag Rugs (Also Known as Chindi Rugs)
Rag rugs bring colour, texture, and lived-in warmth to a space without feeling staged. Traditionally handwoven from strips of recycled fabric, they are practical, characterful pieces designed for everyday use rather than display.

Handwoven rugs with texture and character
Rag rugs are known for their layered weave and subtle variations in colour. Each rug reflects the materials used in its construction, giving it a natural sense of movement and depth that machine-made rugs often lack.
Because they are handwoven, no two rag rugs are exactly the same. These small differences are part of their appeal, adding character rather than uniformity.
Recycled cotton rugs for everyday living
Many of our rag rugs are woven from recycled cotton and reclaimed textile fibres. This makes them both resource-conscious and practical, offering softness without sacrificing strength.
Their flexible weave allows them to sit comfortably in living rooms, bedrooms, and relaxed spaces where warmth and comfort matter more than formality.
Soft underfoot, easy to live with
Unlike firmer natural fibre rugs, rag rugs have a softer, more cushioned feel. This makes them especially suited to barefoot areas and rooms where comfort is a priority.
They are also easy to place beneath furniture, layer with other textiles, or move between rooms as needs change.
Colourful rugs without visual noise
Rag rugs often introduce colour, but in a way that feels grounded rather than decorative. The woven strips of fabric create gentle variation rather than bold pattern, helping the rug settle naturally into a room.
They work well in calm interiors that benefit from warmth and texture without needing a focal point.
Chindi Rugs
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.
