What to know

Learn how a Jaipur-rooted company connects craft, design and international trade. The story can help visitors understand the work behind a hand-knotted rug and the difference between handmade and machine-made products. Company showrooms and artisan visits may have separate access rules, so confirm arrangements directly before planning a visit.

Good to Know

Rug-making methods, materials and origin affect price and care. Ask sellers about fibre, knotting, cleaning and return terms before buying. The company website describes its own programmes, but independent impact claims should be checked against external research when you need a full assessment.
