Common questions

What discount does the trade program give?: Tiered between 15% and 30% depending on annual purchase volume and order size. Custom commissions and one-off pieces are quoted project-by-project. Discounts apply on the price visible on the website, after any active sale.
Do you ship outside India?: Yes. We ship hand-knotted and hand-tufted rugs to most countries. Trade members receive a discounted freight rate and consolidated shipping for multi-piece projects. Customs and duties are handled by the recipient.
How long does a custom rug take?: Hand-knotted: 12–18 weeks depending on size and density. Hand-tufted: 6–8 weeks. Hand-woven dhurries: 4–6 weeks. We hold to quoted lead times by reserving loom slots once the deposit is paid.
Can I order a single custom hand-knotted piece?: Yes. Hand-knotted is one-piece minimum. Hand-tufted requires a minimum of three pieces in the same design (sizes can vary). Hand-woven dhurries can be ordered as a single piece.
How do samples work?: Up to six wool, silk, and pile-height swatches per project are sent free across India. Larger sample pieces (1 sq ft and above) carry a refundable freight charge. International sample shipping is quoted per location.
Do you offer white-label or private-label production?: For verified hospitality groups and brand procurement teams, yes. Discuss with your trade liaison after onboarding. Minimum order quantities apply.
What if my application is declined?: We email back with the specific reason and what would change the decision (often it's an inactive GST or a missing portfolio link). Re-applications are welcome once the gap is addressed.
