SKU: 86731998
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.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Will a 9' x 12' rug work under a king-sized bed or in a large living room?
Yes, a 9' x 12' rug is a premier "estate size" choice for large-scale rooms. In a bedroom, this size is ideal for placement under the lower two-thirds of a king-sized bed, providing a soft, balanced border on all sides. In a living room, its generous dimensions are perfect for anchoring large furniture groupings or L-shaped sectionals, ensuring all furniture legs sit comfortably on the rug to avoid a "floating" look.
What is the best way to clean and maintain a natural fiber rug to ensure its longevity?
Because of the artisanal, handmade nature of these fibers, they require more careful treatment than machine-made synthetic rugs. Our care guidelines recommend blotting any spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth or sponge—never rub, as this can push the stain deeper into the braided weave. For regular maintenance, take the rug outdoors for a vigorous shake to remove debris and rotate it every six months to ensure even wear across the surface.
What is the benefit of a hand-braided construction versus a machine-made rug?
This rug is hand-braided in India, a region renowned for its textile expertise. Unlike machine-made alternatives, hand-braided rugs possess a unique, artisanal character and a tighter, more resilient weave. This traditional construction method results in a more durable product that better retains its shape and pattern over time, making it a long-term investment for your home.
What makes a jute and cotton blend a high-quality choice for home decor?
This blend offers the perfect balance of strength and comfort. The jute provides a durable, eco-friendly foundation that can withstand the rigors of daily life, while the integrated cotton fibers add a layer of softness not typically found in 100% jute rugs. This combination creates a versatile, organic texture that serves as a sophisticated base for any room’s design.
Is this rug soft enough for a living room where children or pets play?
While pure jute can sometimes feel coarse, the addition of cotton fibers in this specific blend significantly enhances the rug's "hand" or softness. This makes it a comfortable surface for households with children. Furthermore, the braided pattern provides a natural durability that handles high-traffic activity well, though we recommend using a rug pad to provide extra cushioning and prevent the rug from sliding during play.
How does this rug perform in a coastal-themed home or humid climate?
With its "coastal" design and natural composition, this rug is an ideal organic accent for beach-inspired decor. It is hand-braided from cotton and jute—often called the "Golden Fiber" for its natural luster and durability. While these fibers are breathable, they are also highly absorbent. To maintain the rug's integrity in humid environments, we recommend avoiding direct contact with water and using a dry rug shampoo for cleaning to prevent fiber discoloration or damage.
