Consuelo Castiglioni has been designing exclusive and eclectic women’s clothing at Marni since founding the company in 1994.

Marni is recognized worldwide by connoisseurs of innovative Italian fashion design. Couture finishes and fabrics form the basis of Marni’s style; a style which is expressed in disciplined yet feminine designs, combining a purist’s approach to material, lines and silhouettes with an emphasis of luxury and a uniquely crafted finish.

Consuelo’s defining aesthetic is more about emotions, she works her colours like an artist, carefully finding the right density of tone. Monochromatic colours are her basic palette because they allow the true richness of each texture. Prints stimulate her creativity and inspire new silhouettes while textures and colours enhance the true richness of her fabrics.  The beautiful collection of Marni designs for The Rug Company carries these themes into the interior with classic Marni prints translated into hand knotted Tibetan wool. The first collaboration by The Rug Company with a fashion house, the Marni collection is now world famous for bringing the delicate and uplifting floral designs normally associated with clothing into the home.

This rug is entirely handmade, from the spinning of the wool to the weaving on the loom. It is unique, and has been crafted by weavers in the Kathmandu area, whose skills have been passed down through many generations. We use only the highest quality wool for our rugs, that of the Tibetan sheep, for its durability, rich texture and subtle colour variation. To this we have added the vision of a world class designer, and the result is a hand knotted contemporary rug of extraordinary beauty, which will itself become an heirloom to be treasured for years to come.
