Family-owned and based in Fort Worth, Texas, we are determined to uphold a legacy of enduring craftsmanship, steadfast quality, and philanthropic commitment. We achieve these goals by cultivating a culture of honor, integrity, and an inherent desire to explore.
Our mission is to combine artistry, comfort, and nature to create inspired rugs that reflect our commitment to ethical practices, promote people, and deliver exceptional quality.
We draw inspiration from the world around us and bring it to life in the form of tangible artistry. We create modern designs that derive their beauty in elemental forms. These rugged terrains, scenic landscapes, and geometric patterns are all rooted in the exploration of the naturalist spirit.
High Quality Rugs That Tell A Story
Our rugs are more than just a decorative piece; they are a work of art created through the generational knowledge of artisans who are dedicated to their craft.
Design Concepts
Our internal product development team is dedicated to creating and fine tuning our designs. We ensure collaboration between our local team and our international counterparts. Depending on the complexity, certain designs require months of development and fine-tuning before they are approved.
Material Selection
The selection and processing of high-quality materials are tailored to the specific construction of each rug. The material chosen for a rug significantly influences the mood it sets and its practicality for various spaces. Options include wool, cotton, jute, polyester, viscose, polypropylene, and recycled PET, each bringing unique qualities to a room.
Dyeing Fibers
Rug dyeing is a traditional craft where yarn is sorted by color needs—light wool for pastel hues and dark wool for deeper tones. The texture impacts yarn quality, and blending wools adjusts the softness or coarseness of the final product.
Weaving Techniques
Various weaving techniques are employed to produce different types of rugs, affecting their quality, design, price, and durability. Our rug-making processes include hand weaving, hand knotting, hand looming, hand tufting, and power looming.
Finishing Touches
The finishing process in rug manufacturing includes shearing to even out the pile, washing to remove impurities and set colors, and drying to prevent distortion. Edges are bound or serged to prevent fraying, and the rug is inspected and repaired as needed to ensure quality and durability.
Crafting Techniques

Hand Weaving
Hand weaving involves manually interlacing threads on a loom to create rugs, allowing for intricate patterns and textures with skilled craftsmanship, resulting in unique, durable, and custom-designed pieces.
Hand Knotting
Hand knotting involves tying individual knots by hand around warp threads on a loom to create intricate rug patterns. This method produces durable, detailed designs with a unique texture.
Hand Tufting
Hand tufting uses a tufting gun to insert yarn into a pre-stretched backing, creating rugs with various textures and patterns quickly. It allows for intricate designs and high durability.
Hand Looming
Hand looming involves manually weaving yarn on a loom, creating rugs with intricate patterns and textures. This technique allows for precise control and customization, resulting in high-quality, artisanal pieces.
Power Looming
Power looming uses automated looms to quickly and efficiently weave yarn into rugs, allowing for consistent patterns and textures on a large scale, with high precision and speed.
