Its always exciting when new stock arrives, these gorgeous fluffy rugs commissioned by us from the Ukraine are a treat to unpack. Unique to C + C, these one off limited edition are certainly an investment and will serve you well for years and years. Perfect for the floor and can be used as a bed throw in the colder climes, combed to a fluffy texture on one side and flips to a boucle finish on the other side. Natural dyes give an intense depth of colour to the sheep wool, all hand woven by Olga and her family in the Carpathian mountains in Ukraine. We endeavour to support craft makers when ever possible, dealing direct to keep communication clear and personable allowing a relationship to build up naturally and organically. Check out the range in TEXTILES in the store.

Our Ukrainian rug looks so good in this room in Manchester, the mix of mid century furniture with the washed out tones of pinks, greens, greys compliment the rug perfectly. Thanks Helen for the photo, its a beauty.
