The Monkey Rug - Blue Hand-Tufted Wool Rug

Introducing The Monkey Rug in Powder Blue, a limited-edition wool rug created by Shelby Finds in collaboration with Durban artist Shannon Wilson.

With its soft powder blue tones, delicate pink accents and vintage-inspired botanical details, this unusual animal rug has all the charm of an old-world illustration, with a slightly mischievous twist.

The decorative scalloped border adds an unexpected finishing touch, making this hand-tufted rug as much a piece of floor art as a functional addition to your home.

Handmade in Jaipur, India, using 100% wool, each rug is crafted by skilled artisans.

Made for anyone with an eye for unusual interiors, eclectic home décor and beautifully made things that don’t look like everything else.

Just five rugs exist in this colourway. A small batch of monkeys, and that’s your lot.

A Rug With a Purpose

The Monkey Rug was designed in collaboration with Durban artist Shannon Wilson, inspired by the incredible work of Monkey Helpline, a local organisation dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and protecting vervet monkeys.

For every Monkey Rug sold, R500 will be donated directly to Monkey Helpline to help support the important work they do for Durban’s monkeys.

Just 10 rugs across two colourways. And a little something given back to the monkeys who inspired them.

Good to Know

Hand-tufted wool rugs may shed initially. This is a natural characteristic of wool and will decrease over time.

Professional rug cleaning is recommended. Do not soak or wet clean.

For the interesting ones. And the monkeys, of course.
