over-dyed distressed
vintage rugs are dyed and distressed to create this beautiful, ethereal look, accelerating the aging process. this is done through a cycle of dying and washing. colors blend, textures soften, and an infusion of depth is the end result.
one of the advantages of using this distressing process is the level of control that is available. fabricated distressing gives the rug maker and eventually the client the ability to choose whether they want to just kickstart the aging process or add on 30 years to their rug. the end result is a one of a kind rug with its own unique character.

Over-dyed and distressed rugs represent a bold intersection of heritage and modern style. At Woven, our collection of over dyed rugs and distressed rugs celebrates the beauty of imperfection—reviving antique foundations with vibrant colour washes and intentional fading to create one-of-a-kind pieces with soul.
Each over dyed rug begins its journey as a vintage or antique textile, carefully selected for its structure and pattern. These are then washed, neutralised, and re-coloured in rich hues—from deep indigo to earthy saffron—giving them a second life as striking statement pieces. The result? Over dyed vintage rugs that retain their intricate Persian or Turkish motifs, but with a bold, contemporary finish.
If you're looking to add texture and depth to your home, a distressed rug is a compelling choice. Whether it's a distressed area rug for a living room or vintage distressed rugs for a layered interior look, these pieces bring a sense of story and craftsmanship to modern spaces. The weathered finish adds softness, character, and a lived-in elegance that's hard to replicate.
Our collection also features antique distressed rugs, which retain original design integrity while embracing the patina of age. These rugs work beautifully in minimalist, industrial, and bohemian settings alike.
