Part of the stunning Backstitch collection, the Backstitch Busy rug is defined by a vivid linear pattern, made up of a collection of different layered line patterns and colours. Available in Green or Brick colourways, the abstract design has a beautifully textured, tactile finish, creating a highly comforting, inviting addition to a living room, hallway or bedroom space. Soft and warm, the rug has been made from 100% pure wool, produced on manual looms and delicately hand-embroidered by the artisans of the GAN Women’s Unit.
