Handmade Rugs & Carpets
Handwoven textiles are revered in Indian societies. Sought after, collected, and passed on as heirlooms in many cases. A core element of social settings are the rugs, humble or refined as per the occasion. Ceremonies in particular call for people to be seated on the floor. Huddling together on a rug, sharing life stories, watching a musical performance, or simply participating in a ritual is a familiar social scene. Dhurries are the humblest of the lot and hand knotted silks adorn formal affairs.

Committed to the revival and continuation of these crafts and their guardians, Inaãra practices fair trade with its artisans when possible and fair pricing of their products in our store. Our single aim when it comes to rugs in particular is to create an awareness and love for them amongst global audiences and offer our weavers consistent demand for their products.
But as is the familiar story of the modern world, mass produced machine made products are overtaking the average household. The knowledge and appreciation for these textiles is lost to the upcoming generations. The domino effect is reduced demand for these textiles leading to financial instability among weaving communities. Following the twin blows of demonetization and the Covid pandemic, many weavers have traded their generational professions for non-specific jobs that provide more surety of income but find no use for their skillset.

Kutchi / Kharad Rugs

The vankars who make the much coveted Kutchi shawls and blankets are also proficient in making rugs. As in other parts of India, these rugs are made both in cotton and wool and dyed using natural colours. The co-dependent pastoral and weaving communities originally made these rugs from goat and camel hair for very practical uses, for the floor, for animals, and for grain. The Kharad (which simply means carpet) is truly a work of art. Geometric, muted, and tightly woven, these rugs ironically add an air of refinement and culture to any modern setting. In contrast to the colourful dhurries, the kutchi rugs are typically sepia and chrome in their look and feel.
Iconic geometric patterns & bohemian designs
Dhurries seamlessly integrate into a wide array of modern decorating styles, from chic farmhouse aesthetics to eclectic boho interiors influenced by the demand from renowned global home décor brands, the Dhurrie industry has evolved to incorporate designs and motifs from around the world, expanding its creative repertoire.

Additionally, we offer Dhurries crafted from 100% cotton, recycled PET yarn, and cotton interwoven with bamboo silk, sourced from various regions across India.
