Meet The Leopard Rug — a bold recycled cotton throw rug featuring hand-painted artwork by Australian artist Maisie Dickie, created exclusively for Salty Aura.
The stars of this one are pretty hard to miss. Featuring hand-painted leopards woven across the rug, this playful design brings a little bit of the wild into your home — and plenty of personality wherever you take it.
Maisie Dickie is a contemporary Australian artist from the Whitsundays, Queensland, whose work is influenced by the natural world and her life by the ocean. Working across original paintings and prints, Maisie's art is full of personality, colour and a sense of fun. Her connection to the environment runs through her work too, with 1% of profits from her art supporting local conservation efforts helping protect the Great Barrier Reef.
Maisie hand-painted the leopard artwork exclusively for Salty Aura, which we then transformed into one of our signature 100% recycled cotton woven throw rugs. You can explore more of Maisie Dickie's original artwork and prints here.
Its reversible woven design features contrasting colours on the reverse, giving you two different looks in one.
The Leopard Rug isn't one you'll want to hide in the cupboard. Throw it over the couch or across the end of your bed to add a bit of fun to a room, take it outside as a picnic rug or beach blanket, or chuck it in the back of the car as a camping blanket for weekends away, caravanning and road trips.
Salty Aura has been designing our signature woven throw rugs in Australia since 2018, creating colourful, practical pieces made to move between home and the outdoors.

Spot clean when possible. Hand wash in cold, soapy water and hang to dry. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softness. Avoid machine washing, but If its necessary use a delicate cycle. The rug may shrink 10% once washed, but will expand again after use. They soften with each wash like other throw blankets. The rugs are woven, so be careful when using around sharp objects (pointy rings, car keys etc) so you don't pull any threads. Some people use them on the ground to brighten up their room, however please don't vacuum the rugs.

introducing
Salty Aura was the first of its kind to turn the humble indoor throw into an everyday outdoor essential. We began designing woven throw rugs in Australia in 2018 after we struggled to find colourful, versatile throws we wanted to take travelling ourselves. What started as a rug for our own road trips has grown into more than 50 original Salty Aura designs, used in homes, vans, campsites and on adventures across Australia.
Our throws are woven from 100% recycled cotton and designed to move easily between home and the outdoors. From couches and beds to beach days, picnics, camping and road trips.
