The Jeans Label Carpet is an unusual one that recycles jeans into a rustic textured patchwork floor covering.
Denim jeans are known for their durability, but even if the fabric starts to wear, many other parts of the trousers still have the potential for long lives ahead. The Polytuft rug makes use of the leather labels from worn out and discarded jeans, giving them a brand new life and purpose.
Since the patches that come from the denim pieces are quite small, tons of them are stitched together, which makes the composition of each carpet totally a one of a kind piece. The denim label rugs come in two sizes, ranging from about $550 for the small rectangular size to $750 for the larger one.

- Custom Patchwork Designs
- The composition of each carpet being a one of a kind piece presents an opportunity to offer customized patchwork designs for consumers in the home decor industry.
