About the Rugs and Rug Makers:
Our rugs are designed and crafted by an artisan group in Pakistan known as Bunyaad. The name meaning "foundation" in Urdu, Bunyaad works to create strong foundations in the villages of Pakistan by paying a fair wage to its artisan families. All rugs are made by fairly paid adults.

Bunyaad has grown to include over 850 families in roughly 100 villages throughout Pakistan. These villages are located in two provinces, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly the North West Frontier Province). Bunyaad's finishing center and warehouse are both located in Lahore, Pakistan's second largest city.

Bunyaad guarantees a fair wage for their artisans. In a rural economy that normally leaves people in very uncertain financial circumstances, reliable and consistent payment fosters unprecedented financial planning capacity. And because artisans are paid per knot, rather than speed, it behooves them to make high quality, high knot count pieces. All of this enables artisans to focus on doing quality work with the knowledge that they have the security of a fair income to care for their families' needs.
