SWATCH PROGRAMME

Feel it before you commit to it.

Every GBO rug is made to order, by hand, over several weeks. Before you invest in a piece for your space, we’ll send you the real materials — the jute, the wool, the exact colourway — so you can see it in your own light, against your own floors, before production begins.

ORDER A SWATCH — £35
Credited toward your rug order.
HOW IT WORKS
01
Choose your rug and colourway.

Select the swatch from any piece in the GBO collection.

02
We post it to you.

A genuine offcut of the jute and wool yarns used in that piece, sized to show texture, weave, and colour accurately — not a printed sample.

03
Live with it for a few days.

Place it in the room, check it against your existing furniture and light at different times of day.

04
£35 credited toward your order.

If you go ahead with the full rug, the swatch cost comes straight off the price.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Made to order means it can’t come back

Because our rugs are made to order in India and Nepal by hand, using traditional weaving, embroidery, and braiding techniques, they can’t be mass-produced or held in ready stock — and once production begins, we can’t offer a return. A swatch lets you make that decision with real material in hand, not a photo on a screen.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does delivery take?

Swatches typically arrive within 5–7 working days.

Can I order multiple swatches?

Yes — order swatches for more than one design if you’re deciding between colourways; each is credited if you purchase that specific rug.

What if I decide not to order a rug?

The swatch is yours to keep — no obligation.

Does this delay my rug if I do order?

No — you can begin production as soon as you’re ready; the 8-week making time starts from your order confirmation.
