CHALLU™ Made to Order Rug – Cream

Price range: $960 through $4,800Save 11%Made-to-order price — 11% less than our ready-made CHALLU rugs

Your CHALLU, woven from the very first knot. Choose the size and colour, and a weaving family in Pakistan strings up a loom with hand-spun wool from the high country of Ghazni and begins a rug that has only ever been meant for your floor.

Pick a standard size, or choose Custom size and enter your own measurements. Natural undyed wool, or a soft pink from natural dyes. We’ll email within a few days of your order to confirm the details.

Made to Order acknowledgement

Each Made to Order CHALLU is hand-knotted specifically for you. Most are finished in approximately 12 weeks; larger pieces may take longer. We'll be in touch after you order to confirm your timeline.

Because every rug is hand-spun and hand-knotted, there will be natural variations in colour, texture and pattern. That gentle shift in tone (abrash) and the small irregularities are what make a handmade rug what it is. Photos are a guide only, and finished dimensions may vary by up to 3%.

Made to Order rugs are paid in full at checkout. As each one is woven specifically for you, they are final sale and are not eligible for change-of-mind returns or exchanges. This does not affect your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

Good to know

We photograph our rugs in real rooms and natural light, so you see them as they are. Screens vary, so if you’d like a video or more photos before you decide, just ask.

Preferably sweep with a stiff straw broom. Vacuum only lightly, in the direction of the pile, not against the grain.

  • Turn it and use it upside down for a fortnight every spring.
  • Move furniture a few centimetres every few months.
  • Spills: wipe or scrape off the excess, then sponge with cold water, but not to excess. Suds from a eucalyptus wool wash are fine. Always sponge inwards. Lift and turn the wet area over until dry.
  • Never leave a rug on the floor wet, and never put pot plants on it.

Don’t be too precious. Our rugs are pure top-grade wool and virtually indestructible; there are many antique rugs still going strong today. Just stay natural, with no modern chemical cleaners or machines, and return your rug to us for a complete wash every few years.

PS Some rugs enjoy a picnic!

Yes. Call ahead and we’ll have it ready for you at our Bangalow showroom, 11 Byron St.
