British Rare Breed Double Sheepskin Rug in Espresso Drift - Handmade in Somerset

British Undyed Rare Breed Natural UK Double Sheepskin Rug – Espresso Drift

Lovingly handcrafted in Somerset by our family for your home.

Bring a sense of tactile luxury to your space with our Double Sheepskin Rug in Espresso Drift. The deep, naturally occurring coffee tones flow through the fleece with gentle ombré transitions and occasional lighter tips that subtly catch the light. Sumptuously soft and naturally warm, each rug is made from 100% British, undyed rare-breed brown fleeces, celebrated for their rich chocolate hues and subtle sun-kissed highlights. These lighter notes develop naturally over many months of grazing under the British sun (when it does appear!), giving every rug a softly weathered character. No two fleeces present the same markings; some carry a darker ‘saddle’ along the spine, while others show a mellow dusk-like halo around the edges. We hand-select every sheepskin for its silken texture and distinctive character, then hand match and pair, then hand-stitch each hide in our Somerset workshop. This thoughtful pairing preserves the softly framed edge, giving the rug a beautifully balanced presence on the floor. The result is a durable, naturally insulating piece that brings authentic rural character and exceptional comfort to any room. The subtle tonal play adds depth to pale floors and a gentle lift to darker interiors.

Our sheepskins are sourced exclusively from British farms committed to high welfare, traditional husbandry and the conservation of native and rare breeds. Choosing a rug from us directly supports these farms, helping to sustain the longstanding British sheepskin industry and the craft skills that accompany it. Natural colouring varies by breed and pasture, ranging from warm milk-chocolate to deeper espresso accents. This is considered, small-scale craftsmanship — fleece to finish under one roof — rooted in respect for the animal, the land and the heritage of rural British making.

Perfect draped across a chair, beside the hearth or at the foot of the bed, this double sheepskin brings natural warmth and a refined, rustic presence to contemporary and classic interiors alike. The Espresso Drift palette layers effortlessly with oak, stone, linen and wool weaves. Measuring approximately 190 cm long × 73 cm wide and wonderfully comforting underfoot. Each order includes a complimentary sheepskin brush and simple care advice to maintain softness and longevity. A quick weekly brush lifts the wool pile and brightens the natural contrast.

We always photograph our rugs in natural daylight to show authentic colours; as with all natural materials, tones may vary slightly depending on lighting — an honest hallmark of genuine sheepskin. Evening lamplight warms the deeper brown tones, while soft daylight reveals more of the sun-lightened highlights.
