What works in Durban

Humidity is the thing in KZN. Doors stay open, the inside and the outside of a house blur, and a rug spends half its life somewhere between the two. Indoor-outdoor weaves and anything you can hose down suit Durban better than deep pile does.

If you are not sure where to start, Flatweave is the construction we send to Durban most often.

Choose by how it is made

Every rug here is filed by construction rather than by look, because the difference between a soft touch and a textured pile is something you feel before you see it — the same millimetres, and the opposite rug underfoot.

• Flatweave — no pile at all. Clears a door, sits flat under a dining chair, and the only thing we would put on a covered patio without thinking twice.
• Low Pile — three to nine millimetres. The default for a room that actually gets used.
• Textured Pile — heat-set yarn that springs back instead of flattening, and holds a carved pattern.
• Soft Touch — tufted cut pile on soft felt. Several go through a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
• Hand-Knotted — knotted by hand, one knot at a time. Wool, and in some cases silk.
• Printed — 0.8 mm, no pile, anti-slip backed. Goes where a thick rug cannot, at a fraction of the price.

Delivery, returns and paying
