A fun use for surplus waste material and an Indian craft favourite, rag rugs are a consistent bestseller at Namaste Fair Trade. Their origins are unclear other than they became more widely available through mechanised cloth production at the turn of the 19th century. Fortunately for India, a thriving garment industry produces prime offcuts perfect for turning into a variety of vibrant new goods. Rag rugs remain a favourite for their fascinating colour combinations, flexible practicality and low carbon footprint.
With the added benefit of being relatively straightforward to create using a loom or sewing machine, reuse in this way is an efficient solution all around. The nature of the source fabrics means that each item is uncompromisingly unique. It all depends on the material available at the point of production! Statement styling for soft furnishing purposes; rugs, chair backs and decor accents to enhance any space. They are often used as wall hangings for instant personalisation and makeover pieces to declare bold ownership of living space. Use with imaginative flair to make a positive difference in an environment. For instance, scatter in Student accommodation or dark residences to instantly brighten with an injection of colour at an affordable price. Easily removed or repositioned when a change is required. Recycling and upcycling is all the rage today, but it's nothing new (pardon the pun!)
