SKU: 86732015
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.

What are the benefits of a rug made from a jute and cotton blend?
This rug features a hand-braided blend of natural jute and cotton fibers. Known as the "Golden Fiber," jute is prized for its organic texture and exceptional durability, making it a sustainable choice for high-traffic areas. The addition of cotton softens the feel underfoot, providing a more comfortable surface than 100% jute rugs while maintaining a sturdy, artisanal construction.
How do I properly maintain and clean a hand-braided natural fiber rug?
Because of their artisanal, handmade nature, these rugs require more careful treatment than machine-made versions. We recommend vacuuming frequently without a beater bar and rotating the rug regularly to ensure even wear. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth; avoid using water, as moisture can discolor or damage natural fibers. For deeper cleaning, our experts suggest using a dry rug shampoo or baking soda rather than traditional steam cleaning.
Can this rug be used in high-traffic entryways or mudrooms?
While jute is inherently durable and handles foot traffic well, the artisanal hand-braided construction of this rug means it should be used in areas where it can be properly cared for. For dry debris common in entryways, we recommend taking the rug outdoors for a gentle shake to release dust. In humid coastal climates, ensure the area is well-ventilated to prevent moisture from settling into the organic cotton and jute fibers.
Is a 9x12 rug the right size for a large living room or master bedroom?
A 9' x 12' rug is an ideal "anchor" size for spacious rooms. In a living room, this scale allows the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs to rest comfortably on the rug, creating a cohesive seating zone. For a master bedroom, this size is specifically recommended for a king-sized bed, as it provides a soft, 3-foot border around the sides and foot of the bed, perfectly framing the space in larger suburban homes.
Does this rug work well for a home with a coastal or organic decor theme?
Yes, this rug is specifically designed for coastal and classic aesthetics. The yellow hue provides a "sunnier energy" that can brighten naturally shaded rooms or porches, while the hand-braided texture echoes the breezy, relaxed feel of a beachside retreat. The use of organic materials makes it a primary choice for designers looking to establish an eco-friendly foundation in their space.
Should I use a rug pad with a braided natural fiber rug?
Based on our expertise with high-quality floor coverings, we strongly recommend using a rug pad. A pad provides essential grip to prevent the rug from shifting or bunching, which can cause premature wear on the braided fibers. Additionally, it adds an extra layer of cushioning and protects your hardwood or tile floors from the abrasive nature of the jute's underside, helping the rug retain its shape and durability over time.
