Helen Amy Murray

Helen Amy Murray is recognised for her hand-crafted creations that take inspiration from nature and form to create surface relief within textiles. Helen had previously applied the techniques to leather and suede but The Rug Company collaboration successfully translated Helen’s abstract designs into innovative, hand carved, hand knotted rugs. The results are truly ground-breaking and Helen’s Peony rug was awarded the Homes & Gardens award 2008 and the BIDA Award at Decorex Fair in the same year.

Good Causes

GoodWeave

GoodWeave is a nonprofit organisation founded in 1994 by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Kailash Satyarthi. It's the leading international institution working to stop child labour in global supply chains through a market-based system and holistic approach.

We partner with companies and local producer communities to bring visibility to hidden supply chains; protect workers’ rights; provide assurance that products are free of child, forced and bonded labour; and restore childhoods.

Over 25 years of pioneering and innovating a system that at the core harnesses market power through its work with brands and producers,

GoodWeave has restored freedom to over 9,700 children, directly provided educational opportunities to more than 46,180 children, and deterred hundreds of thousands of children from entering labour.

In 2022 alone, more than 92,200 workers were protected under the GoodWeave standard. GoodWeave has expanded its work, which started in the rug industry, into home textiles, apparel, fashion jewellery and bricks where its reach and impact continue to grow. GoodWeave’s impact goes beyond reach numbers as it has been a leading voice in positively influencing societal norms and behaviours to eliminate child labour.
