Karo Multicoloured

Using white chalk and red ochre to decorate their bodies, the Karo tribes of Ethiopia have a reputation for being highly aesthetic people. By creating intricate circle, spiral and cross-hatched designs they aim to enhance their beauty and to stand out to the opposite sex.

Crafted in the highest grade of New Zealand wool and blended with earthy hues of bamboo silk, this distinctive rug shares the same love of beauty that is elegantly timeless. Part of our Modern Africa Collection.

Hand-knotted New Zealand wool with bamboo silk (80 knots per square inch); also available in /re/PURPOSE PERFORMANCE fibres
