Field Rug & Rug Pad MaterialsUpdated 2 years ago
Our Rugs are made of 47% Jute and 53% Wool. Our Jute is sustainably harvested and sourced from Bangladesh, and our Wool is ethically sourced from farms in New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Our wool is mulesing-free.
Our Rug Pads are made of 100% pre-consumer recycled fiber.
Our approach to our materials is one that considers our impact across the board, including ethical production, carbon impact, durability, and end-of-life considerations. We are continuously considering our practices and working to improve the practices of the furniture industry with every step we take. While we do not claim to be perfect, we believe every improvement we make is a step towards a better, kinder, and more enduring future for our planet.
We chose to utilize wool after considering a variety of factors. Wool is a renewable material that has been used for thousands of years that is naturally fireproof, incredibly durable, temperature-regulating, biodegradable, and recyclable. It is the best of both worlds in terms of being able to break down if needed but is also long-lasting and resistant if continued to be used. While there are inhumane practices utilized within the wool industry, particularly within the Merino wool industry, this is not true of the entire industry and we have chosen to work with farms that utilize sustainable and ethical practices. Additionally, the emission of greenhouse gases from wool production can be offset on the farm level through land management practices.
