Fabulous large durries, hand woven from recycled silk by artisans near Kolkata, India. Wonderfully colourful, durable and washable, they make great floor coverings for the kitchen, bathroom or living areas, or will add life to even the darkest room as a wall hanging.

'Chindi' durries, or rag rugs, are a relatively new type of durry on the Indian market, where durries have been woven on simple looms for centuries. Probably the creation of a thrifty householder, they were originally made from scraps of old apparel, using stout cotton thread as the 'warp'. Cotton still forms the warp, but the 'scraps' used for the weft in these durries are recycled silk fabric, and the stylish burgundy cotton border is a newer innovation, adding a touch of class.
