Hand-Tufted Jute Rugs
When exploring hand-tufted jute rugs, it is essential to understand both the construction and the application. Hand-tufting is the perfect balance of craftsmanship, design flexibility and accessible pricing. A skilled artisan uses a hand-held tufting gun to punch yarn through a pre-stretched canvas, following a paper pattern. The piece is then trimmed, carved, latex-backed and finished with a cotton lining — producing a plush, sculpted rug in a fraction of the time of a hand-knotted piece.
Coupled with this, jute is one of the most sustainable natural fibres on earth — fast-growing, biodegradable, and beautifully textured. Our handwoven jute rugs bring an organic, earthy quality to interiors that synthetic alternatives can't match. They suit coastal, Scandinavian, boho and modern-rustic schemes equally well and act as the perfect neutral foundation in a layered room.

Are hand-tufted rugs as durable as hand-knotted?
Not quite — hand-tufted rugs typically last 10-25 years with normal use, versus 50+ for hand-knotted. The difference is the latex backing, which can dry out over decades. For an heirloom piece, choose hand-knotted; for everyday luxury at a better price, hand-tufted is excellent.
Why do hand-tufted rugs have a smell when new?
A faint smell from the latex adhesive is normal for the first few weeks. Air the rug in a well-ventilated space (or outdoors on a dry day) and the smell will disappear. We use low-VOC latex for all our pieces.
Are jute rugs scratchy underfoot?
Pure jute has a textured, slightly coarse feel that many people enjoy. If you want softer comfort, choose a jute-wool blend or layer the jute rug under a smaller wool piece in seating areas.
Can I use a jute rug outdoors?
No — jute absorbs moisture and will mildew if exposed to rain or damp conditions. For outdoor use we recommend our PET (recycled plastic) collection, which has a similar natural look but is fully weatherproof.
