Australian Home Beautiful – August 2019

the materials

“From the start, we put our

commitment to social and

environmental responsibility

at the forefront of our business

• our ethos is ‘our rugs lie lightly
  on this earth’ and it’s something
  everyone who works at Armadillo
  takes seriously,” says Jodie of the
  company’s rugs (above). “We only
  work with natural and sustainable
  materials – wool, jute and recycled
  PET, and they are carefully sourced
  from all over the world.”

the process

“There’s the weaving, but there’s

also the preparing of the yarn,”

says Sally of the rug-making

process (left). “Not all our rugs

are dyed, but those that are,

that’s a skill in itself... there’s

also a lot of energy that goes

into finishing the rug (above)

to make it beautiful.” Adds

Jodie: “From start to finish,

it can take up to a year.”

“I AM MOST PROUD OF THE WORK WE HAVE DONE IN INDIA. I ALWAYS

LEAVE WITH A HEART FULL OF GRATITUDE AND PRIDE LOOKING AT

WHAT A DIFFERENCE WE HAVE MADE TO OUR WEAVERS’ LIVES,

AND THEIR CHILDREN IN OUR SCHOOL”- Jodie Fried, Armadillo & Co
