Know before you buy
Yes, the 100% jute construction is naturally durable and well-suited for high-traffic areas. However, because it is a hand-woven flatweave, it performs best in indoor spaces away from direct moisture.
Jute is a natural fiber that should be vacuumed regularly without a beater bar to prevent fraying. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth; avoid using water or cleaning chemicals, as jute can be sensitive to moisture.
We recommend using a rug pad underneath the River Runner. It will provide extra cushioning, prevent the rug from sliding on hard floors, and help protect the weave from unnecessary wear.
A turnover finish means the edges of the rug are folded back and stitched, creating a clean, seamless look without the need for additional binding or fringe. This provides a sleek, low-profile edge that sits flat against the floor.
Like most natural fibers, jute can fade if exposed to direct, intense sunlight for extended periods. To maintain the vibrancy of the indigo ticking, we recommend placing the runner in an area that receives indirect light.
