The Collection

Outside In is a collection of sturdy, water-resistant outdoor rugs which are soft and stylish enough for indoors. But they dont just look good: they do good. Made of recycled plastic bottles which have been transformed into fiber, these rugs are sustainably-minded, helping to beautify the planet as they beautify your patio (or bedroom).

The Design

A witty update on classic lawn sport attire, these rugs feature an expanded plaid full-field design. Horseshoes mix of pink, blue, and yellow has a candy-pastel feel.

The Material

These pieces are flatwoven by hand with recycled polyester called polyethylene terephthalate, or PET for short. A soft and sustainable fiber with the look and feel of wool, recycled PET is highly durable and easily cleaned, which means your rug is mildew-resistant. Its made by sorting, washing, and melting recycled plastic, which would normally end up in landfills. A 5’x8′ rug contains about 460-500 recycled plastic bottles.

The Maker

We partnered with a small, family-run weaving house known for their flatweave expertise. Theyre Craftmark-certified, which means they meet stringent national standards for socially responsible handmade products. Many of their weavers have been with them for as long as 30 years. To visit their factory is to be steeped in its personal history, from the walls of photographs honoring their lineage, to the majestic, hundred-year-old timber looms they still use today.

The Designer

Our in-house, all-star design team collaborates across three different countries. Based in Los Angeles, Istanbul, and Mumbai, they put a lot of thought into each and every collection they design. Starting with the weave itself, they determine material and technique, then create moodboards to capture the look and feel before starting to design. When designs are finalized, they conduct an extensive sampling process, perfecting each style and color before it goes to production.

About Custom Rugs

Custom rugs are final sale from the time of purchase. The estimated ship time of your custom item can be found below the “Add to Cart” button and varies based on size. Once the custom piece is is produced it is first shipped to our warehouse for a final inspection before we send it to you.

Because our custom rugs are woven by hand, there will be natural variations in color, and final sizes can vary by up to 2″ in length and width.

• Shake gently to remove debris, and clean regularly using non-rotary vacuum.
• Vacuum on low power with a non-rotary (no spinning brush) vacuum or suction attachment only.
• Please note that the Outside In rugs can retain moisture if not dried completely.
• Rotate on occasion to ensure even wear over time.
• Wash after 1-2 years of use by brushing lightly with slightly soapy water, or rinsing off with a hose.
• If your rug is outdoors and becomes exposed to heavy rain, we recommend letting the rug hang to dry.
• As is typical with any outdoor rug, please note that prolonged sun exposure may fade rug fibers over time.
• Due to the hand-crafted nature of our rugs, you can expect to see light shedding, matting, and signs of fiber and thread breakage over time. For high traffic areas, these effects may occur more quickly and easily.
• Spot cleaning instructions:
• Lightly dampen a paper towel or cloth with clean water
• Gently blot the affected area with your damp towel or cloth to dilute the stain
• If the stain persists, try using an unscented, citrus-free, clear soap to avoid bleaching the textile.
• Repeat this process until the stain is removed
