Be confident in the provenance of your Indian Rug

Indian Rugs have always been popular with our discerning customers.

It's Fairtrade Day this weekend and so we thought this was a great opportunity to reassure our customers about the provenance of our Indian rugs.

As one of the UK’s biggest importers of rugs and carpets FrithRugs is keen to ensure that the products we sell have been produced to the highest standards and without exploitation.

We import directly from the manufacturer and insist that manufacturers conform to strict ethical policies which include the criteria than no child or slave labour is used in the production of rugs and carpets.  We also make unannounced and random visits to carpet looms and weaving areas to ensure that our policies are enforced.

We fully support and endorse RugMark (the international non-profit organization devoted to ending child labour in the handmade carpet industry in South Asia).  This is great for smaller importers and wholesalers.

However, as a company with major purchasing power, FrithRugs feel more confident in setting out and adhering to our own stringent polices which we can police and enforce.  We need to be confident in the provenance of FrithRugs and so we insist on our own labels which meet our own exacting standards.

This means you can purchase our Indian Rugs with confidence and complete peace of mind.
