Hug Rug, the original creators of the washable rug, is delighted to be exhibiting at Glee, the UK’s leading garden trade show, at NEC Birmingham from 16th – 18th September. Entirely manufactured at its mills in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, Hug Rug represents authentic British craftsmanship and continues to champion local manufacturing expertise that has been refined over decades.
Hug Rug will exhibit new launches across its range of Eco-Washable Rugs and Washable Doormats, as well as its new range of Outdoor Mats.
Hug Rug is excited to launch its new range of Outdoor Mats, which it will debut for the first time at Glee. Crafted for durability and designed to offer a stylish and practical solution every season. Featuring a curated selection of Hug Rug’s most popular designs, the new outdoor range is made from ECONYL® yarn: ECONYL® regenerated Nylon is made by recovering nylon waste destined for landfill and turning it into nylon yarn for the fashion and interiors industries.
Inspired by the natural beauty of its Pennine location, the new outdoor collection exemplifies Hug Rug’s continued commitment to manufacturing as sustainably as possible. Proudly a zero-waste to landfill business, Hug Rug’s outdoor rugs made from ECONYL® are its latest innovation as it strives to minimise its environmental impact during production, protect scarce natural materials, and to create products that reduce waste.
First launched in 2007, Hug Rug will celebrate its 18th birthday on the 18th September. To coincide with the milestone, Hug Rug looks forward to the launch of its new website and comprehensive brand refresh on 18th September, as it looks ahead to the next 18 years.
Hug Rug is the proud inventor of the washable rug, which Phoenox Textiles pioneered in 1970. As a leading manufacturer of eco-friendly, machine-washable rugs, the company's non-slip, washable designs offer the ideal combination of low-maintenance care, durability, and contemporary style for modern homes.
The brand's innovative approach addresses common consumer frustrations with traditional rugs, providing a practical solution that doesn't compromise on aesthetics or environmental responsibility.
