GET TO KNOW US
-
Our products are designed in Australia and handwoven by incredibly skilled weavers in Uttar Pradesh, India. The supplier we work with is a heritage family owned business. This area of India is particularly historic as home to the largest hand-knotted carpet weaving industry hub in South Asia.
-
The company we work with is family-owned with a long history in rug-making. They have been audited as part of their membership to Care and Fair - an accredited organisation working in India and Pakistan to abolish child labour, create better living conditions for carpet knotting families and ensure socially acceptable production.
Finding a supplier to work with that we felt confident was working ethically was the longest and most important process in the making of Peek Neek. If you have any questions at all regarding our suppliers please reach out - we believe in an honest and transparent supply chain.

Pretty wild that you can make yarn from plastic bottles, huh? The fabric is actually called rPET yarn.
Without getting too scientific, plastic bottles are collected, cleaned, compressed, melted and spun through a shower like nozzle that results into yarn.

Whilst the Thicky Rugs don’t have the traditional waterproof backing of a picnic rug, their fibres and the thickness of the material makes them naturally water resistant. Unless you plan on picnicking in a puddle, we’re certain there will be no wet butts.
-
Although we’re inspired by picnic culture, it was important as conscious consumers that we created a product that was versatile, multi-purpose and not just a seasonal novelty.
A portable rug with outdoor resilience that was soft enough to use inside the home. This was also a consideration in not adding a waterproof backing.

We’ll be launching carry straps very soon - stay tuned!
-
We ensure that we pay our weavers in India a fair wage as all our rugs are meticulously handwoven on looms - we respect the time and craft that goes into each and every one.
We use a thick, high quality RPET yarn for maximum durability, comfort and water-resistance. -
