Rugs Original is South Africa’s largest importer of rugs, selectively sourced from around the globe. Carefully selected for their fine craftsmanship, their rugs are sourced directly from producers, who are often cross-generational crafters of handmade rug and floor coverings.
Through bi-annual international trips, to long established suppliers, the Rugs Original team’s goal is to replenish existing ranges, while sourcing new lines and products for their ever expanding collection, resulting in their ranges being updated between five and seven times annually, and include environmentally-conscious recycled items, which will soon be added.
This sourcing process takes the Rugs Original team to some of the most fascinating and exotic locales in the world, including India, Afghanistan and Iran, and European countries such as Belgium.
During each of these trips the team spend a significant amount of time discovering new products, while also ensuring that their existing ranges remain consistent in terms of quality and pricing.
