Children in factories

I visited a carpet factory near Kathmandu yesterday, and took this photo.

I know no kids work there, and in some jobs I think it's fine to have a baby with you at work... but if the child is capable or allowed to wonder around (and eat bits of carpet), something needs changing urgently.

Nepal is one of my favourite countries and I wanted to have some rugs made here, but not in this factory - or any others where this is going on.

This factory has the Rugmark, like most that I have visited.

New - Sheepskin rugs


After lots of hunting around for the best sheepskin rugs, we have just taken delivery of our first stock. There are 9 colours of sheepskin choose from - we think the colours are great.

The main thing to note about these new sheepskin rugs is the quality. We compared samples from many different sources, and these are thicker , softer and more luxurious by quite a long way.

We have black, natural white, dark blue, deep pink, strong purple, and the pink shown above.

Prices start at £38.95 , and delivery is free on orders over £70 - go to www.therealrugcompany.co.uk to find out more

New Highlander rugs - first pictures !

I'm really excited this week. The highlander rug which has proved to be very popular is now available in 4 more colours. These are expected to be in stock on the 21st October. Here are the first pictures....

The highlander rug is made from New Zealand wool and has a pile of about 10cm, so it is extremely thick and luxurious.

Comments on the new colours are more than welcome !
