Jaipur Rugs
Founded in 1978 by NK Chaudhary, Jaipur Rugs is a family-run business that sells handmade rugs that combine authentic handmade craftsmanship with contemporary design. Jaipur Rugs makes an ideal gift, as each purchase directly supports the livelihoods of rural artisans. One key collection offered by Jaipur Rugs is the “Manchaha Collection”, which was born out of a socio-economic initiative that seeks to enable artisans to become artists. Through this project, weavers are encouraged to express themselves freely and create designs as their heart desires. The weavers pour their individuality into each rug, resulting in pieces with a unique touch, making it a one-of-a-kind and meaningful gift with a deeply personal touch. For the recipient, it serves as a reminder of the spirit of giving back and the artisan’s journey woven into every thread. Visit the website.
