The Collection

We made a better washable rug. Flexible and easy to clean, with an extraordinarily comfortable pile, these pieces are not mats: they’re the real deal, soft enough to cushion every step. Plus, their lightness and foldability makes washing easy.

The Design

Our washable Garde collection puts a spin on traditional Anatolian rug design. Contrasting black linework, done in a slightly-shrunken pile, creates movement within classic Turkish motifs. This disruption blurs the rug’s composition, as though the yarn has been dragged across the rug, making it feel static and crackly, traditional but not. The Iskende rug repeats its almost-floral motifs line after line, like your TV lost reception, prompting you to bend its antennae just so.

The Material

Soft as wool with a very subtle silk-like sheen, our polyester is highly durable, OEKO-TEX certified for safety, mildew-resistant, and machine-washable. In this piece, it's combined with a cotton backing that's both strong and supple. Cotton, a vegetable fiber, is widely used across rug traditions because of its sturdiness and longevity.

The Maker

Our partner in Turkey has been in the rug business for almost thirty years, and are vocal advocates of change and progress. An expert in both yarn and rug production, they use recyclable material for their labels and packaging, and are devoted to increasing their use of recyclable and natural raw materials, as well as lowering their water and energy consumption.

The Designer

Our in-house, all-star design team collaborates across three different countries. Based in Los Angeles, Istanbul, and Mumbai, they put a lot of thought into each and every collection they design. Starting with the weave itself, they determine material and technique, then create moodboards to capture the look and feel before starting to design. When designs are finalized, they conduct an extensive sampling process, perfecting each style and color before it goes to production.

Washing Machine Guide

Learn More

  • When it's time for a deeper clean, machine wash your rug with like colors on delicate with 1 TBSP of gentle detergent.
  • For sizes 5' x 8' - 8' x 10', we recommend using a 60-lb washing machine (the large kind you find at a laundromat) rather than a home washing machine, which is usually 20-25 lbs.
  • For sizes 9' x 12' and above, spot or dry clean.
  • Preferably line dry. Alternatively, tumble dry on no or low heat setting.
  • If your rug is heavily soiled, or if it's tough to find a laundromat, dry cleaning is recommended

You do need a rug pad
Here's why

Why You Need a Rug Pad

While we recommend a rug pad for all rugs, they’re especially important for flatweaves, whose slim profile requires extra padding.

A rug pad prevents unwanted bunching and sliding, adds a subtle lift, and gives your rug a more cushioned feel underfoot.

Our rug pads are made of recycled felt and natural rubber, whereas lesser rug pads’ thin, sticky web can damage your flooring.

Moisture and mildew resistant, a rug pad stops dirt and grime from settling in your rug’s fibers.

The right rug pad

A must-have for flatweaves and other lower-pile pieces, a rug pad is the secret ingredient to maintaining your rug’s appearance and longevity. Width-wise, you’ll want to trim your rug pad so it’s 1-2” shorter than your rug on all four sides. Height-wise, we offer two premium rug pad options, both made of cozy recycled felt and natural rubber.
