Eco and Social Responsibility at Nomad Rugs

Our rugs are sourced from small cottage industry weaving workshops, not factories. Rugs are woven in weavers’ homes. Weavers are paid a fair living wage. We cherish the artisans who create these extraordinary rugs. The weaving of these rugs sustain indigenous traditions and keeps families together.

Our rugs are all natural! We specialize in rugs made with handspun wool and natural dyes. Not only are these materials more beautiful, they are also more environmentally friendly.

Hand made rugs are one of the most sustainable products ever made. They can last for generations. When you buy a good hand made rug, you are buying a rug for a lifetime.

Our rugs are naturally washed with soap and water. Softer colors are made by using lesser amounts of the natural dyes instead of by bleaching bright synthetic colors. We avoid selling rugs that have been distressed with chemical treatments and “antique” washes.

We support:

Barakat which is dedicated to providing exemplary basic education in Afghanistan and Pakistan that advances literacy and increases access to secondary education, particularly for girls and women.

Turquoise Mountain from who many of our custom bespoke rugs are produced.

Care and Fair which is dedicated to producing rugs responsibly and without the use of illegal child labor. Through Care and Fair we provide support for education and health care for carpet knotting families.

At Nomad Rugs, our rugs are made with all natural materials and safe and fair labor. Our rugs are beautiful because they are beautifully made.
