About us

We are a small, family run artisan shop in Edinburgh ethically sourcing handmade Oriental rugs, runners and cushions.

At the heart of Rug Cottage is Aiysha, our founder, who takes personal care in helping you discover the perfect rug for your home. Her keen eye for quality and deep appreciation for craftsmanship ensure that every piece we offer is not only beautiful but meaningful.

Rug Cottage first opened its doors in 2022 in Edinburgh, bringing with us not just a love for timeless design, but generations of experience in the rug trade. Long before Rug Cottage was born, our family connections had deep roots in the industry -crafting, sourcing, and selling fine handmade rugs in regions beyond Scotland.

We offer a carefully curated selection of handmade, ethically sourced rugs from Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Each rug is chosen not only for its beauty but for the skill, tradition, and culture it represents.

Whether you are searching for a bold statement piece or a subtle touch of warmth and texture, we are here to help you find a rug that feels right at home.

“I absolutely love seeing how a beautiful, handcrafted rug can complete a room — as if it was woven with the space in mind.”
