Description
Our Fesmane is a jute runner rug in the warm, honey-toned natural shade of the fibre itself, framed by a sage green border along all four sides. Thick braided cords of jute circle round in long, narrowing rectangles from the outer edge towards the centre, so the surface carries a ribbed, plaited texture rather than a printed pattern. The border is braided in the same way in a muted green, giving the plain centre a crisp outline. It is 100% jute, braided by hand, and it comes in one size: a 67 by 200cm runner.
At 67cm wide and 200cm long, this runner is shaped for the narrow, busy stretches of a home: a hallway, a landing, or the length of floor beside a bed, where you step down each morning. The natural colour sits comfortably with pale walls and wooden floors, while the sage border adds a quiet line of colour that keeps a long hallway from looking bare. Jute is a plant fibre, so the runner brings a warm, earthy texture into the room. It suits a contemporary home that wants warmth and texture without a busy pattern.
The maker spins the jute into strong threads before it is braided by hand, so the finished runner is durable and 1cm thick. That slim build sits low on the floor; where a door opens across it, check that the gap beneath the door clears 1cm. The maker's care is spot cleaning only, with no bleach, ammonia or strong cleaners, which can damage the fibres. Jute takes up moisture readily, so keep it away from bathrooms, cellars and other damp spots. Before you order, measure your hallway or landing, and on a smooth floor an underlay helps keep the runner in place.

Frequently Asked
Will this runner fit my hallway?
It comes in a single 67 by 200cm size, so measure first and aim to leave a strip of bare floor along each side and at both ends, which usually looks best in a hallway.
Can I put the runner near the back door?
We would lay it a step or two inside rather than right at the threshold where wet boots and umbrellas drip, because jute absorbs moisture and the maker advises keeping it out of damp places.
How should I deal with a spill?
Act quickly and treat only the marked area, since the maker's care is spot cleaning only, and keep the braid from getting soaked, as jute takes up moisture easily.
Will the jute runner shed loose fibres?
A natural jute braid can let the odd fibre work loose. If you spot one, the maker's advice is to trim it with scissors, because pulling it can start the braid unravelling.
Is jute an eco-friendly choice of fibre?
Jute is a vegetable fibre, and the maker presents it as a natural, environmentally friendly option for flooring. It also has a gentle natural shine that catches the light.
