Underfoot, every day, for years. Indian rugs are built to be lived on.

Where they come from

Panipat is India’s home of the dhurrie, the flat-woven cotton rug. Jaipur is known for hand-tufted and hand-knotted rugs. Agra has woven carpets since Mughal times. Bhadohi in Uttar Pradesh is India’s largest carpet-weaving belt.

Three ways to make a rug

  • Flatweave (dhurrie): woven on a loom with no pile. Light, reversible, easy to wash.
  • Hand-tufted: yarn is punched into a backing with a tufting tool, then trimmed. Soft and plush.
  • Hand-knotted: every knot tied by hand. The slowest and longest-lasting.

Handpicked, mostly one of a kind

We handpick our rugs from these clusters. Most are single pieces, so once one is gone, it’s gone.

Care

Shake or vacuum often. Spot clean spills right away. Cotton dhurries can be gently washed.
