The spark for Jacaranda was created back in 2003 when Richard Meager, Founder and joint managing director was shown an "interesting” carpet sample and was told "It's unusual, handmade in India and great value for its quality". He contacted the supplier, flew to India within the week and ordered his first container of carpet. Jacaranda is named after the trees that lined the streets of New Delhi with beautiful purple flowers on that first visit.

Jacaranda is proud to have joined the UN Race to Zero Campaign via the SME Climate Hub and in doing so has committed to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2040. This protocol requires them to publicly report annual Scope 1 and 2 emissions which include all Jacaranda’s purchases of fuel, energy and refrigerants. Jacaranda are putting in place concrete plans to reduce their emissions year on year. All of Jacaranda's Flatweave ranges carry the Prodis rating. This is a European test which sets strict maximum levels for VOC emissions and chemicals. Manufacturers have to limit environmental impact and enhance user-friendliness through the entire life-cycle of the carpet, from production to recyclability.

Jacaranda pride themselves on the use of sustainable fibres wherever possible to create their carpets and rugs. Predominantly they handweave with renewable wool and botanic TENCEL™.
