Forty years at the loom. One idea: bring it straight to you.
GetMyRugs began with a simple belief — that a hand-knotted rug, made the old way by people who have done it for generations, should not cost a fortune to bring home.
America's handmade rug store — direct from the people who weave them.
We are a family with rug-making in our blood. For four decades our weavers have knotted, tufted and flat-woven rugs by hand in India. In 2016 we opened our doors in the United States with one purpose: to keep this craft alive and famous, and to put it within reach of every American home — without the showroom markup.
The oldest art a home has ever known.
Rug weaving is one of the oldest art forms in human history. The oldest known rug — the Pazyryk carpet — is almost 2,500 years old, and it was already so refined that historians believe the craft stretches back centuries further still.
Where it began is its own kind of poetry. One story says the first rugs were protective cloaks — warm, portable shelter for nomads and their herds. Another places them later, when wandering tribes finally settled into farming villages and began weaving rugs that were at once useful and beautiful: warmth underfoot, and art for the floor.
When we founded GetMyRugs, we did it carrying that inheritance. Every rug we make is a thread in a story that is thousands of years long.
From a family of weavers to your living room.

Four decades ago
It started on the loom.
Our roots are in the weaving belt of India, where our family has manufactured handmade rugs for more than forty years. Knotting, tufting, dyeing, finishing — the whole craft, learned by hand and passed down through generations.
-
2016
GetMyRugs is born in the USA.
We saw American homes paying showroom prices for rugs that came off the very looms we knew. So we cut out the middle: we became the maker and the store, and brought heirloom-quality rugs to customers directly — at honest, manufacturer prices.

Tomorrow
Keeping the art alive.
Our mission has never changed: to make this handmade weaving art alive and famous again — and to make sure the hands that keep it alive thrive too.
Made by hand, the way it has always been.
No two of our rugs are quite alike, because no two are made by a machine alone. Depending on the design, our weavers reach for one of four time-honoured techniques.
Hand-Knotted
The pinnacle of the craft. Each knot is tied by hand around the warp — a single rug can take months and hold a million knots. These are the heirlooms.
Hand-Tufted
Wool is punched into a canvas by hand with a tufting tool, then sheared and finished. Plush, richly coloured, and beautifully affordable.
Flat-Weave
No pile — just tight, reversible weaving on the loom. Light, durable and easy to live with, in wool, cotton and natural jute.
Persian & Oriental
The classic motifs — medallions, florals and borders — knotted in the traditions that have travelled the Silk Road for centuries.
Woven from high-end natural fibres — wool, silk, cotton and jute — chosen to last for years, not seasons.
Why our rugs cost what they should.
A handmade rug usually passes through importers, distributors and a showroom before it reaches you — and every hand takes its cut. We are the loom and the storefront, so you pay for the rug and the artistry behind it, and nothing in between. That is how museum-grade craft fits a real budget.
Every rug carries a livelihood.
Keeping the craft alive means looking after the people who keep it. Through Thread of Hope we invest in fair wages, schooling for weavers' children, and opportunities for women weavers to earn independently. When you choose a GetMyRugs rug, you help weave a brighter future — one thread at a time.
