The illustrator, designer and accessory maker is producing [hand-loomed cotton rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-soul) with a native American motif. The products are [bold, graphic and cultural](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discorectangle) -- great pieces to help outfit your abode. On top of rugs, Knight also is creating [hand-printed canvas and bridle leather bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revvind-collection), so you can take the Knight Mills design aesthetic on the road. All of the products are made using traditional quilting methods, making this collection of goods authentic and high-quality.
