5 reasons to buy rugs from The real rug company

We've all done it, gone through about 20 websites looking for something and buying from the first one anyway..

So, what makes The Real Rug Company the right choice?

Here are 5 reasons why our rugs and our service is MUCH better than other online rug shops...

1. Guaranteed Price and Quality

If you find the same rug for sale elsewhere and it is at a lower price, we will match the price, or if you have already bought it, we will refund any difference and give you a voucher to use on our other websites - then we will adjust our prices accordingly! If any defect develops with a rug, we will collect the rug from you at our expense and refund or replace it according to your wish. Shop with confidence at The Real Rug Company.

2. FREE delivery and FREE returns (fast)

Other than a few highland and island postcodes your new rug will be delivered free of charge on an overnight service. If you don't like it for any reason at all, just let us know within 7 days and we will collect it from you. This takes the risk out of shopping for rugs online. You are welcome to order 2 rugs and have us come and collect the one you do not prefer.

3. Rugs Made From Natural Materials

We focus on natural materials for our range of rugs. Wool, jute, hemp, leather. All these material have advantages over man made alternatives. They are fire and stain resistant for example.

4. Authentic Rugs From The Place In The World Where They Traditionally Originate.

You can get Chinese Flokati rugs, but we have them made in Greece because that is where they have traditionally been made for a very long time, and we believe that means a better quality rug for you. Likewise you can get cowhides rugs from India, but we get ours from Argentina because that is where the longest tradition is. We follow this principle across our range of rugs.

5. Rugs Designed In-House To Ensure Highest Specifications

For example, our Highlander rugs have a 10cm deep pile. It was originally 6cm. The knots are closer together and in a checkerboard pattern rather than further apart and in rows. The result is a better rug. We upgrade and improve all rugs which we stock.

Buying Sheepskin Rugs and Selling Sheepskin Rugs

This is us looking at some awesome sheepskin rugs in Europe's biggest rug trade fair a few days ago.

You can buy Icelandic sheepskin rugs at www.therealrugcompany.co.uk

India bans cash - causes problems for small businesses.

In another example of why it is better to buy rugs with Bitcoin, here is a message i received today from one of our suppliers:

"Would like to tell you that due to the demonetization policies of our Prime minister Mr Modi .
We are totally out of cash .
Leather was ordered and we could not pay the supplier in cash so he is still holding the leather with him for want of cash as leather for one piece can be bought in cash only they dont accept cheques .
the govt is only allowing us cash for 4000 Rs which is approx 50 GBP a week which we are spending in basic necessities .
It may be a month that the cash situation is restored and we are able to buy again .
though it appears too be a good move for black money etc but we are totally screwed up for the want of cash.
Waiting for the new currency to be distributed by the banks so that we can proceed with our daily business ."

India operates largely as a cash economy. What were they thinking ?!

Time to adopt Bitcoin as a superior form of money. That is why we offer 10% off for anyone who pays for rugs with Bitcoin.

A million new rugs now available on the real rug company

Yes, it sounds like a big number,  but seeing as you can choose the exact size and colour of your new rug, then the possibilities are endless ... and strictly speaking it is an under-exageration.

http://www.therealrugcompany.co.uk/flokati_shop/index_mto_rugs.htm - you will find about 70 new styles that are only made to order.

Throughout the rest of the website, you will find that our most popular rugs can now easily be ordered in any dimensions you choose.

So if you want a Highlander rug that is 5meters by 10 meters, you can simply order it online.

Also we now have a colour sample box, which can be loaned out (for a deposit), so you can choose exactly the sahde of rug you want. This is especially good for our new Bamboo viscose rugs and silk rugs.

The new Bamboo viscose rugs are really really nice. It is hard to tell the difference from the pure silk ones.

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 Highlander rugs - 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 !
