# Recycled Jean Part Rugs Polytuft's Rug Makes Use of Labels from Recycled Jeans By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-03-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-jeans References: [likecool](http://www.likecool.com/JEANS_LABEL_Carpet--Accessories--Home.html) & [kingsofsweden.de](http://www.kingsofsweden.de/en/a-z/brands/polytuft/jeans-label-carpet.html) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Recycling Textile Waste:** There is an opportunity to innovate in the use of small, discarded denim pieces in the textile industry, thus reducing waste. - **Upcycling Leather:** Incorporating the leather labels from worn jeans into new products presents an opportunity to create unique and sustainable designs in the fashion industry. - **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. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Textile:** The use of textile waste in the creation of unique carpet designs presents an opportunity for innovation in sustainable production processes. - **Fashion:** Upcycling leather from worn denim presents an opportunity for sustainable and unique designs in the fashion industry. - **Home Decor:** Offering customized and one-of-a-kind patchwork designs in the form of carpets can disrupt traditional home decor industry practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hand-Tufted Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floordrobe.md) - [Denim-Upholstered Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/denimupholstered-sofas.md) - [Denim-Adorned Furniture Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/denim-furniture1.md) - [Repurposed Runway-Style Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnei-4.md) - [Upcycled Denim Waste Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluff-stack-furniture.md) - [Denim-Covered Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-nuriev.md) - [Eye-Catching Designer Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-rug.md) - [Luxurious Handwoven Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crate-barrel.md) - [Luxury Utlity Artful Floorwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revvind-collection.md)
