It&#8217;s not a material I have used much but now you will find it being used extensively in our products.<\/p>\n<p>People refer to jute as the \u201cgolden fibre\u201d given its colour and market value.\u00a0India is one of the largest producers of jute in the world.\u00a0In the earlier days, jute was mostly used for packing or for making sacks. But now it&#8217;s used in so many different ways \u2013 from clothes, textiles to fashion accessories and furniture.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/skyyliving.comwp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/stylish-jute.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4796 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/skyyliving.comwp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/stylish-jute.jpg\" alt=\"Stylish Jute\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skyyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/stylish-jute.jpg 750w, https:\/\/skyyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/stylish-jute-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skyyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/stylish-jute-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/skyyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/stylish-jute-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>A Little History<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jute was used as clothing even in the Mughal era by poor villagers since it was so cheap.\u00a0From the 17th century to the middle of the 20th century, the British East India Company started trading in jute.\u00a0The jute industry\u00a0played an important role in the economic development of Bengal. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Bengal could boast of only one manufacturing industry \u2013 jute.<\/p>\n<p>Even today jute contributes a significant amount to the economy of states like West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar and Assam. Jute handicrafts from India have created a niche market.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cotton is the most popular and eco-friendly fibre in the world, but we have news for you &#8211; jute beats cotton in sustainability.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>What Makes Jute Eco-Friendly and Sustainable?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Needs very little water to grow<\/li>\n<li>No chemical intervention required<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s resilient to wear &amp;tear<\/li>\n<li>Natural &amp; organic<\/li>\n<li>Is biodegradable and compostable<\/li>\n<li>Improves soil fertility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Inspired and wanting to make greener choices, I have put together a collection of jute products for Skyy that are beautiful but still manage to reflect the raw and earthy appeal of the material.<\/p>\n<p>Our floor mats come in different sizes edged in gold, black, green and yellow. These 100% biodegradable mats can be used to dress up any space \u2013 indoors and outdoors. While the black floor mat is a safe option, the gold has just enough bling to add a little dazzle to your room, while the yellow and green bring a boho-chic factor.<\/p>\n<p>The hand-braided table mats are just exquisite. Choose from the Freya Mats edged in turquoise \/yellow or opt for the Aria Mats in Gold\/Silver. They come in pairs of 2 and will be a beautiful addition to any table it graces. You can use them to dress up your dining table, the dresser in your room or simply place them on your centre table.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/skyyliving.comwp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/jute-image.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4795 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/skyyliving.comwp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/jute-image.jpg\" alt=\"Jute Image\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skyyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/jute-image.jpg 750w, https:\/\/skyyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/jute-image-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skyyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/jute-image-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/skyyliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/jute-image-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re going to love the jute baskets we\u2019ve styled.
