The Cuba rug is a bold graphic design which references the geometric shapes found in quilt designs. Each segment is filled with stripes of high and low pile adding subtle texture to the design.
Each rug is individually made in 100% wool, creating a dense, long lasting pile which adds texture to the colours.
The finishing process of meticulously hand carving each motif produces a crispness of line, with varied pile heights to create a 3-dimensional effect.
Available in runner, small and large.

Introducing our new lightweight fine wool scarves
Hand-crafted on traditional looms in the Varanasi region of India – these scarves are woven in superfine lambswool and screen printed by hand.
The collection takes inspiration from one of Margo’s earliest spot designs. The palettes were influenced by delving into the many versions of this pattern held in the studio archives.
Limited Production | Available in 4 colourways.
