Rugs - where aesthetics meet functionality

We believe in preserving the ancient techniques of handwoven carpets. We are determined to provide equal opportunities to women and help them become more independent and provide for their families.

Each of our rugs is a result of years of meticulous craftsmanship and techniques of weaving by hand. Handmade carpets are unlike the rest and ensure durability, longevity as well as sustainability. Our rugs are not just simple carpets but legacies which are passed through generations. There are some things irreplaceable and handmade rugs are one of those things. We believe investing in your home can never go wrong.

Handmade rugs are one of the easiest ways to transform and liven up any space, be it residential or formal. Handmade rugs are all the more special as they add a charm of their own due to the exclusivity and beauty of its imperfections. As exquisite as it is, it is durable, a handmade rug is woven with the stories of the generational skill of its artisans. Coming to your home straight from the artisans, a handmade rug from Den and beyond can be one such venture piece, a family treasure to pass down the ages.
