Description
Our Fesmane rug pairs a natural jute centre with a wide grey border, and the whole rug is braided by hand. The chunky, rope-like braid runs in rings around the rug, so the centre reads as a set of nested rectangles in warm honey and straw tones, framed in deep slate grey. The fibre is 100% jute, a plant fibre with a natural shine, which the maker spins into strong threads for a hardwearing rug. We offer this braided jute rug in three sizes: 80 by 150cm, 120 by 170cm and 160 by 230cm.
The maker intends this rug for contemporary interiors, and the grey border gives the natural centre a crisp, tidy outline that keeps the look modern rather than rustic. The 80 by 150cm size works beside a bed, in front of a fireplace or in a wider hallway. The 120 by 170cm rug suits a reading corner or the floor in front of a smaller sofa, while the 160 by 230cm size is large enough to sit under the front legs of a sofa and armchairs, or under a compact dining table. Jute takes in moisture readily, so this rug belongs in dry rooms such as living rooms, bedrooms and hallways, away from bathrooms and basements.
At 1cm thick, the rug lies low, so it should clear most doors, though we would check the gap under any door that opens across it. The maker's care is spot cleaning only, and bleach, ammonia and harsh cleaners should stay well away, as they can damage the fibres. If you notice a loose fibre, snip it off with scissors rather than pulling it, because pulling can start the braid unravelling. Before you order, measure your space and mark out your chosen size, and on a smooth floor such as wood or tile, an underlay helps keep the rug in place.

Frequently Asked
Can I put this jute rug in the washing machine?
No. This rug is not machine washable; the maker's care is spot cleaning only, so treat any mark where it happens rather than washing the whole rug.
Is jute an environmentally friendly choice?
The maker describes the jute in this rug as an environmentally friendly natural fibre, and the rug is 100% jute throughout, the grey border included.
Can this jute rug go outside on a patio or in a conservatory?
No. This is an indoor rug, and because jute soaks up moisture easily, the maker advises keeping it away from damp areas, so a dry room inside the house suits it best.
Which size works under a double bed?
The 160 by 230cm size can lie crossways under the lower half of a double bed, so it reaches well past both sides, while the smaller sizes sit beside the bed.
Is the border braided in the same way as the centre?
Yes. The grey border is braided in the same chunky style as the natural centre, so the texture runs right out to the edges.
