Today is Handmade Day, and I want to celebrate the people behind the most extraordinary craft in the world.The weavers. 5,000 of them work with us. They wake up every day and do something that no machine has ever replicated. That no algorithm can approximate. That no shortcut can produce. They tie 8,000 knots by […]
Before you clean your rug, read this.

Before you clean your rug, read this. Most rug damage is not from use.It is from incorrect cleaning. Specifically: methods designed for synthetic wall-to-wall carpet applied to a natural-fibre hand-knotted piece. They are not interchangeable. Not slightly different.

Four generations of my family have dedicated their lives to one of the most extraordinary art forms in the world.Hand-knotted rugs. 400 years of knowledge. Passed from master to practitioner. Hands on the loom. Knot by knot. And I believe the best chapter of this craft is still ahead. Here is what this industry produces […]
A skill that is not passed forward disappears

A skill that is not passed forward disappears.I think about this more than anything else in my work. The knowledge that makes a great hand-knotted rug possible is not written down anywhere.It lives in hands. In the muscle memory of a master weaver who has tied 8,000 knots a day for thirty years. In the […]
The most beautiful rugs in the world are made in Jaipur

Exclusivity is becoming rarer.Mass production has made everything accessible. Today, you can walk into a store and buy the same rug that hundreds of other homes already have. Same design.
