Karibu Woolable Area Rug

$509.00

Bringing the spirit of East Africa into your home, the Karibu Woolable Area Rug is a beautifully handcrafted piece from Lorena Canals’ Africa Woolable Collection. Inspired by the entrance of a Maasai hut, this oval-shaped wool rug combines earthy terracotta and oxide tones in the center, surrounded by a border of tribal symbols in Seashell, Charcoal, and Walnut shades. A contrasting long-pile edge adds texture and depth, making this rug a statement of both comfort and cultural artistry.

Lorena Canals’ journey through Africa inspired this collection, capturing the essence of wild landscapes, traditional craftsmanship, and the connection between people and nature. Each Woolable rug is machine-washable, handmade using natural wool fibers, and dyed with eco-friendly, non-toxic dyes. Whether placed in a living room, bedroom, or creative space, the Karibu Woolable Area Rug adds a touch of bohemian warmth and organic beauty.

Care Instructions

• When you first receive the rug, unpack the rug from its bag and lay flat. Allow the pile to condition at room temperature for 2 to 3 days, then brush or vacuum as normal to allow the pile to recover
• Wool rugs will shed fibers when new and during use. This is not a defect but a characteristic of the natural wool fiber used
• Trim with scissors any pulled or loose threads to prevent further damage
• To prevent dust and crumbs from settling into the roots of the fiber, we recommend regular vacuuming using low-powered vacuum cleaner with high-pile setting
• Clean spots and absorb liquid spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid scrubbing
• Do not use chemicals as they could damage or fade the colours of your rug
• When rug is in need of a wash, check the label sewn onto the rug for recommended washing machine capacity for each rug
• For this rug, we recommend a minimum capacity of 9 kg
• Wash separately at 30 degrees using a gentle cycle for a maximum of 30 minutes. A neutral detergent can be used during the wash
• Make sure to use a low spin cycle if the rug has braids or fringes
• Do not bleach and softener
• Do not leave the wet rug in the washer as colours may bleed and transfer
• Tumble dry at low temperature
• Do not dry clean
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight as it may result in colour fading
• Never store the rug in an airtight plastic bag. Use the cotton bag that is included for storing
• We recommend the use of the anti-slip underlay (included) to keep the rug in place
