Description
This beautiful and colourful Fair Trade rag rug is handmade in India by the Barefoot College, an amazing non-government organisation that does great work in rural Rajasthan. Our special handmade rag rug is the perfect addition to a truly sustainably conscious home, as it is made from rags left over from the garment industry and handmade on a handloom.
Due to the handmade nature of these products, colours will slightly vary, but loveliness comes as standard.
