Founded in 1997, The Rug Company has endeavoured to create the most desirable rugs in the world. Combining the ancient craft of rug making with the creative brilliance of some of today’s most talented designers. Vivienne Westwood has a long-standing association with Scotland and its traditional fabrics such as Harris Tweed, wool, plaid & tartan. The HIGHLAND rug features a special tartan originally designed for the iconic 2007 Gold Label collection - Wake up Cave Girl. For this specially crafted rug, Westwood subverts the traditional motif: the dimensions of the tartan are magnified, to give an oversized graphic feel to the traditional Scottish pattern. Expertly woven in muted royal blue and oyster cream bands, with gold and beetle red feature threads, the rug is handknotted with fine Tibetan wool.
