For ten years, Payal Singh was a crime and political reporter at Aaj Tak, chasing stories, asking the questions nobody else would, and getting people to talk. In 2014 she turned that curiosity to something she had always loved: the handmade rugs of Bhadohi.
She started Rugz.in to bring those rugs to the world. Since then she has made custom rugs for a flooring retailer in New Zealand, a designer showroom in Arizona, and interiors firms in Riyadh. Luxe Carpets is the next chapter: the same looms and the same obsession with getting it exactly right, made for designers, hotels and brands.
How we work
- We listen like reporters. Your room, your colours, your deadline, before we draw a single line.
- We show you everything. CADs, colour poms, photos from the loom, a video before dispatch.
- We tell you the truth about dates. We'd rather lose an order than promise a date the loom can't keep.
The people who make your rug
Our rugs are woven by adult artisans in and around Bhadohi, a town whose hand-made carpets carry a Geographical Indication. We do not tolerate child labour in any form.
The company
Luxe Carpets is a brand of Rugz.in, a woman-owned micro enterprise registered in Bengaluru, with production in Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh. IEC-registered exporter.
