Welcome to Build By Hand, where we celebrate the beauty, tradition, and functionality of handmade rugs. If you’re here, chances are you’re someone who appreciates artistry and uniqueness in your home decor. Handmade rugs are not just floor coverings; they are works of art that tell stories, preserve heritage, and bring unparalleled warmth to any space.
Why Choose Handmade Rugs?
Handmade rugs stand apart from machine-made counterparts in several ways:
Craftsmanship: Each rug is meticulously woven by skilled artisans, often taking weeks or koi months to complete. This dedication ensures durability and intricate designs that no machine can replicate.
Uniqueness: No two handmade rugs are exactly alike. Each piece carries its own charm and character, adding a personal touch to your home.
Sustainability: Many handmade rugs are crafted using natural materials and traditional methods, making them an eco-friendly choice.
The Artisans and Techniques
Our handmade rugs are crafted in Bhadohi, often referred to as the Carpet City of India. Situated in Uttar Pradesh, this region boasts a rich history as a global hub for handwoven carpets and rugs. The traditions of carpet-making here date back centuries, rooted in techniques brought by Mughal artisans.
We use time-honored weaving methods such as hand-knotting and hand-tufting, as well as hand-dyeing processes for wool and other raw materials. These techniques are labor-intensive and require exceptional skill, but they result in stunning, durable pieces that stand the test of time. Depending on the design and weaving technique, creating a single rug can take anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks or more.

We prioritise quality and sustainability in every rug we produce. Our materials include:
Wool, Viscose, Silk, Polyester, Jute, Polypropylene, Bamboo, Silk.In addition, our factory operates entirely on solar power, and we process 100% of our wastewater discharge, ensuring our processes are eco-friendly and sustainable.
