Welcome Knots Rugs

One of UK’s finest modern rug companies becomes a Label STEP partner. Knots Rugs from London stand for eccentric, beautiful design – and social responsibility for workers in Nepal.

There are plenty of dynasties in the rug business but few can boast a British Pedigree such as Knots Rugs. Steeped in British heritage, fusing eighty years of tradition and excellence with a contemporary vision for modern design, Bonnie Sutton, Bernie Sutton and Linny Moss have been carving out a reputation in the UK and internationally for making fresh, quirky beautiful hand knotted Tibetan rugs with quality as their trademark. Drawing their inspiration from fashion, nature and popular art and marrying it with the knowledge and history of their traditional rug roots, Knots are known for creating extraordinary and unique modern carpets.

Label STEP and Knots Rugs have been discussing working conditions in rug manufacturing and the future of the Nepalese carpet industry for a number of years. With Knots Rugs joining Label STEP their cooperation for fair conditions in trade and production of handmade rugs and the joint efforts to contribute to a healthy and sustainable carpet industry are brought to a new level. Bonnie Sutton of Knots Rugs: “We became a member of Label STEP because of the forward looking constructive approach to the rug industry. Whatever Label STEP and Knots Rugs can do together to aid the working environment of our producers and weavers in Nepal is a positive thing in our book!"

Label STEP is thrilled about the newly established partnership: “We believe companies like Knots Rugs represent the future of the rug industry. They perfectly combine contemporary design and best product quality with a deep respect for traditional know how and techniques – and they do it in a socially and ecologically responsible way” explains Label STEP Commercial Director Reto Aschwanden. Moreover, he welcomes Knots Rugs as Label STEP’s first member in the UK: “we couldn’t have wished for a better partner to put Great Britain on our map!”.
