HOW DO YOU PRICE THE RUGS?
When dealing directly with the artisans, our first priority is a fair compensation towards them. Then there is also travel & shipping and the costs of marketing. At Knuup we only select genuine high-quality items and this is reflected in the price. Please bear in mind that these rugs are completely handmade, one knot at a time. These items hold their value and will easily outlast cheaper imitations.

WHERE ARE THE RUGS SOURCED FROM?
We travel all over Morocco in search for unique high quality pieces. Our goal is to get to the source as close as possible.

WHAT ABOUT ETHICAL SOURCING?
For our new made rugs we strive to work together with ethically managed cooperatives and directly pay fair prices. If we can't trace the new rug back to the maker, we donate 5% of proceeds to the High Atlas Foundation in Morocco. Read more details here

HOW CAN I GIVE BACK TO THE ARTISANS?
Buying a rug is giving back to the artisans. It’s a great recognition for them and their work that Knuup can return and continue to buy from them in the future.

HOW DO YOU COMPENSATE FOR EMISSIONS OF TRANSPORT?
We plant trees for every purchase. Read more details here

WHY HAVE YOU ADOPTED THIS WAY OF WORKING?
I find it important to build my business around doing what I love, while being good to people and being respectful to the world we’re living in.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO TRY A RUG AT MY HOME?
