New - 2 colours of knitted rugs

These rugs are on a heavy backing, so they are strong. The wool is good quality New Zealand wool and it is felted and woven to look like it is knitted.

The two new colours are Winston Brown  and Expresso .. see below

prices start at  £85  for 60x120cm  at www.therealrugcompany.co.uk

New! Felt Knitted Rugs

It looks even nicer in real life... we currently have 3 colours in stock with more to come very soon!

In other news.. cowhides are now 20% cheaper.. so worth a fresh look, and reindeer hides are 10% cheaper - I've noticed some real rubbish appearing on the internet in terms of reindeer hides.. they are in no way the same quality.. it is obvious.

Famous!

Hello there,
Just a quick head-up to everyone to be ready with your DVD-recorders, YouTube clicking-fingers, TiVo, VCR, sketch pads...whatever... in late March, our fabulous Highlander Shaggy Rugs shall be making an appearance on "Love the Place You're In", presented by Gordon Whistance.


Have a look HERE for more details of the show, and more importantly HERE on where to get one ahead of the inevitable rush!

i heart rugs!

Firstly...

Happy Valentines Day!

There's lots going on over at The Real Rug Company, new styles coming in all the time etc so we thought now would be a good time to remind everyone what's going on.

We are about to place yet another big order with the factory, and so we thought we would give you the opportunity to have one of our rugs made to your own size requirements!

Delivery is expected in April for these 'custom made' rugs, so order now to get yours!

We've set up the first of our international Rug sites now too...the first being in Sweden where we have our headquarters. The second, in France, is to follow soon!

More news on the way soon!

regards

The real rug company versus Ikea - a comparison

Today, I stumbled across IKEAs Flokati rugs on their website.
I thought, we could never compete with such a massive company as IKEA because they buy enormous quantities.. but when I looked closer I noticed I was wrong.

See this comparison:

Our Flokati in our lightweight quality (1700g/m2), costs just £72 for the size 140x200 cm - and that includes free delivery. It is handtufted in 100% fine wool from New Zeeland in the Flokatis homeland Greece.

The squaremeter price for our rug is : £25.7
The price per kg for our rug is: £15.11

Ikeas thickest flokati is 800g/m2, and costs just £44.99 for the same size, but...
It is machinetufted, in these materials:
Pile: 100 % Pure New Wool
Base fabric: 100% polypropylene

The squaremeter price for IKEAs rug is : £16.06
The price per kg for IKEAs rug is: £20

So..consider this next time you buy a rug, that the rug you think might be the cheapest one isnt always really the cheapest one!
