How to Source Custom Rugs from India: A Step-by-Step Guide

A practical guide for architects, designers and trade buyers on sourcing made-to-order carpets and rugs from India — from design brief and sampling to production and dispatch.

Start with a clear brief

The clearest quotations come from a clear brief. Useful details include project type, buyer type, approximate size and quantity, preferred material and construction, colours and pattern, timeline and destination. TAPIS GLOBAL manufactures to order in Bhadohi — nothing is ready-stock — so the specification drives everything.

Choose material and construction together

The fibre sets the look and feel; the construction (hand-knotted, hand-tufted, handloom, flatweave and others) sets the detail and finish. The team can recommend combinations commonly considered for your setting and confirm suitability for your project.

Sampling and approval

Custom colours and designs are developed to your brief and confirmed with samples and a colour sample (lab-dip) before bulk production, so what you approve is what is produced.

Production, timeline and dispatch

Typical made-to-order production and dispatch is approximately 3–4 weeks, subject to specifications and quantity. Export orders are prepared with the relevant documentation. Exact timelines are confirmed at the quotation stage.
