Rug pad recommended: The rug is woven cotton, lightweight and without a rubber backing. For best stability, pair with a rug pad to prevent movement. Handmade and bi color: This rug is truly handmade, not printed, woven in bridal white and simple black with a distinctive fish bone pattern. The craftsmanship reflects heavy industrial technique while adding subtle elegance to daily life. Safe and low pile: This 45% handmade cotton textile offers a soft, durable surface for home use. The low pile is great for high traffic areas and will not obstruct doorways. Note: Slightly floating fluffy may appear after the first wash. This rug is made with artisanal methods and is not edge locked; edge imperfections are normal and contribute to its charm. Absorbent and breathable: Made from woven cotton that is absorbent and breathable, it quickly soaks up moisture when stepping out of the bath or shower, or when using the sink. Helps keep floors dry and the home clean. Use scenarios: - Place by the bathroom tub, shower, or sink to absorb water and keep floors dry. - Use in entryways or mudrooms to catch moisture and dirt in high-traffic areas. - Set near the kitchen sink or laundry room to protect floors from spills and drips.
