SHELBY FINDS X SHANNON WILSON rug collection

An ongoing collaboration collection with Durban-based artist Shannon Wilson

Each piece is designed here in South Africa, then hand-tufted in India using traditional techniques and 100% wool. The result is a collection of maximalist rugs that feel well-made and slightly unexpected - designed for homes that don't want the usual.

SHELBY FINDS X CARVEL Limited edition Swan RUG

A collaboration with Maggie Murray of Carvel Tattoo, known for her distinctive, illustrative work.

The Leda Swan rug was produced as a small run of just nine pieces, each hand-tufted in Jaipur using traditional techniques and 100% wool. Leda is a collectable statement rug designed as a one-off release.

SHAPED HERE. MADE IN JAIPUR.

Some rugs begin in our Durban studio, where we refine shape, colour, and scale until everything works. Others are carefully sourced from India, selected for their craftsmanship and distinctive design.

Once finalised or selected, each rug is hand-tufted in Jaipur using traditional techniques. These hand-tufted wool rugs are designed as statement rugs for modern South African homes - blending heritage craftsmanship with bold, maximalist design.

Natural Materials. Built to Last.

All Shelby Finds rugs are made from 100% wool with a cotton backing - chosen for durability, softness, and natural texture.

These wool rugs are designed to be lived with: practical enough for everyday South African homes, but distinctive enough to stand out. No synthetics, no shortcuts - just materials that make sense for real spaces.
