Dhurrie Cotton Rugs
When exploring dhurrie cotton rugs, it is essential to understand both the construction and the application. The dhurrie is India's signature flatweave — woven on horizontal pit looms in cotton or wool, reversible, lightweight and beautifully simple. Dhurries have been part of Indian homes for centuries, traditionally used in summer for their cool, breathable feel.
Coupled with this, cotton rugs and dhurries are lightweight, breathable and remarkably easy to live with. Because cotton is washable and naturally hypoallergenic, our cotton collection is a favourite for bedrooms, nurseries, kids' rooms and casual dining areas. Each piece is flatwoven by hand on traditional pit looms — there is no glue, no synthetic backing, just yarn and weave.

What's the difference between a dhurrie and a kilim?
Both are flatweaves, but dhurries are an Indian tradition (often in cotton, with simpler stripe/block patterns) while kilims are Turkish/Persian in origin (typically wool, with more complex geometric motifs).
Can I machine-wash a cotton dhurrie?
Small cotton dhurries (up to 3x5 ft) can usually be machine-washed on a cold gentle cycle. Larger pieces should be dry-cleaned or spot-cleaned to preserve shape and colour.
Are cotton rugs durable?
Cotton flatweaves are durable for low-to-medium traffic areas. For hallways and heavily used rooms, we recommend wool or jute instead.
