Woven with Purpose, Made for a Lifetime of Memories

At Bilby Threads, we believe that every product should tell a story - not just of beauty and adventure, but of responsibility and purpose.

From the materials we choose to the way we manufacture, our mission is to create products that are ethically crafted, sustainably sourced, and thoughtfully designed.

We’re not just making picnic rugs; we’re creating timeless pieces that respect both people and the planet.

What Does Pre-Consumer Recycled Cotton Mean?

The fabric industry generates an enormous amount of waste, with unused textiles often discarded before they even reach consumers. At Bilby Threads, we take this overlooked resource and transform it into something meaningful.

Our rugs are made from 100% pre-consumer recycled cotton - this means we repurpose high-quality cotton fibers left over from textile production, preventing them from becoming waste. Instead of ending up in landfills, these materials are re-spun and woven into durable, breathable, and soft throw rugs, giving them a second life with a lasting purpose.

Choosing pre-consumer recycled cotton reduces water and energy consumption, minimises the need for new raw materials, and lowers our environmental impact - all without compromising on quality.

A Full-Circle Approach to Sustainability

Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop at our picnic rugs. We believe in a full-circle economy, where every part of our business aligns with our mission to minimise waste and tread lightly on the planet.

✅ Recycled & Recyclable Packaging
Your Bilby Threads order arrives in recycled cardboard boxes, designed to be either reused or fully recyclable. We avoid unnecessary plastic fillers, opting for eco-friendly, biodegradable alternatives.

✅ Plastic-Free Shipping
We are proudly plastic-free, from the way our rugs are packed to the tape sealing your delivery. Instead of plastic wrap, we use compostable mailers, recyclable paper, and natural twine - reducing waste and keeping harmful materials out of the environment.

✅ Waste Reduction, Thoughtful Production

Our weaving process ensures minimal fabric waste, and we work closely with ethical manufacturing partners to ensure fair labor practices and responsible production.
