About Us

The inception of Earth Rugs® began in 1977 with my first trip to Bangladesh.  Natural jute fiber rugs were being sold in the local market places. They were absolutely beautiful and we purchased a few for our home in Arkansas.  Later, in l980, I ventured back to Bangladesh and placed my first commercial order for my first shipment. Thus began my long lasting relationship with Bangladesh and jute rugs.

The perfect product for jute is braided rugs.  Since jute braided rugs are a product of the earth, we named them Earth Rugs®.  Jute is a reed like plant that grows in the wetlands of Bangladesh.  It has been harvested and used for making textile products since civilization began 10,000 years ago.  Jute fiber is strong, durable, beautiful and perfectly suited for making braided rugs.

We know that innovation is the key to our success, so we have created many different variations of jute braided rugs.  We print on jute braids, we patch jute braids into quilt patch rugs, and we braid jute into many new items.  For example, our new Random Braided Rugs are made with many different pieces of jute braids.  They are sewn together randomly like old-fashioned 19th century rag rugs, and sold at prices that are down to earth!  Walking on our jute braided rugs is as natural as walking on grass. 

At Earth Rugs® we are proud of our creations and look forward to providing you with the most exciting braided rugs possible and with impeccable service by our staff in Little Rock, Arkansas.
