Living up to its nickname as the as the Golden Fiber, jute is a staple in organic home decor. Hand-braided in India from natural jute and cotton fibers, our Braided Jute Collection features a variety of patterns and neutral colors that make these rugs the perfect base for any room's design. As soft as they are durable, these rugs are the perfect organic accent to any room's design. Handmade rugs should be treated more carefully than machine-made rugs due to the artisanal nature in which they are created. Remove any stains immediately by blotting with a clean cloth or sponge. Avoid using water as that might damage and discolor the natural fibers, instead, for tougher stains use a dry rug shampoo or baking soda. For dry debris take the rug outdoors and give it a good shake. Rotate for even wear.

How does a jute and cotton blend rug feel underfoot compared to 100% jute?
While pure jute is prized for its "Golden Fiber" strength, it can sometimes feel coarse. This rug is hand-braided with a blend of natural jute and cotton fibers, creating a surface that is as soft as it is durable. This makes it a more comfortable organic accent for bedrooms or living rooms where you may be walking with bare feet.
What are the benefits of choosing a handmade rug over a machine-made alternative?
Handmade rugs offer a unique, artisanal character that machine-made mass-produced items cannot replicate. The hand-braiding process creates a sturdy, organic texture that is both beautiful and long-lasting. Because of this artisanal nature, these rugs should be treated with more care—such as avoiding vacuuming with a beater bar—to maintain the integrity of the weave over time.
How does this organic rug perform in humid or coastal climates?
Natural fiber rugs are a staple in coastal decor because of their breathable, organic aesthetic. However, because jute naturally absorbs moisture from the air, it is best suited for well-ventilated indoor environments. In humid regions, maintaining a stable indoor climate will help preserve the fibers and prevent the rug from feeling damp.
Is this hand-braided rug durable enough for a home with high-traffic areas?
Yes, the hand-braided construction utilized by artisans in India provides exceptional structural integrity and durability. Jute is naturally resilient, making it a preferred choice for active households. To ensure the longest lifespan and even wear, we recommend rotating the rug every six months, especially if it is placed in a sunlit room or a primary walkway.
Is a large 10' x 14' rug suitable for an open-concept living area?
An estate-sized rug of these dimensions is ideal for grounding large furniture groupings in open-concept homes. A common design rule for a rug of this scale is to ensure all legs of your sofas and chairs rest comfortably on the rug’s surface, which helps define the seating area and prevents the furniture from looking "lost" in a large room.
What is the best way to clean a natural fiber rug made of jute and cotton?
Because natural fibers like jute are highly absorbent, you should avoid using water, which can cause permanent discoloration or damage. For spills, our care guide recommends immediately blotting the area with a clean, dry cloth or sponge. For tougher stains or general freshening, use a dry rug shampoo or baking soda. To manage dry debris, this handmade rug can be taken outdoors and given a firm shake.
