A manufacturer, not a middleman
Mirzapur and neighbouring Bhadohi form the largest handmade carpet belt in India. Weaving has been the trade of this region for centuries, and its rugs carry a Geographical Indication. Our workshop is in Kantit, Gajiya, where the weavers who work with us grew up watching their parents and grandparents at the loom.
Because we make the rugs ourselves, you deal directly with the people responsible for the design, the dyeing, the weaving and the finishing. Nothing is held in stock to push: when you place an order, your rug goes into production — designed, dyed and woven for you.
That applies equally to one rug for a living room and to a set of rugs for a design project. The process is the same; only the quantity changes.
What we make
Hand-knotted
Tied knot by knot on a cotton warp. The most durable construction, and the one for rugs meant to last decades.
View hand-knotted rugs →Hand-tufted
Wool punched through canvas by hand, then sheared and carved. Plush pile, sculpted designs and a shorter lead time.
View hand-tufted rugs →Flat weave
Woven with no pile. Light, reversible and hard-wearing — the practical choice for dining rooms and hallways.
View flat weave rugs →All three are made in wool, silk, jute and cotton, in standard sizes from 2×3 to 12×15 ft, as runners, or to your own dimensions and design. See how custom orders work.
