Frequently Asked Questions

Everything we're most often asked about our rugs, customisation, ordering and shipping.

Product

Are your rugs really handmade?

Yes — every House of Souravi rug is 100% hand-tufted by artisans in Bhadohi, India. Nothing in the collection is machine-made.

What are your rugs made from?

100% New Zealand wool, chosen for its softness, resilience and natural texture.

Do hand-tufted rugs shed?

Some light shedding is normal in the first few weeks as loose fibres from tufting work their way out. It settles with regular vacuuming and isn't a sign of a quality issue.

How durable are hand-tufted wool rugs?

Very — wool is naturally resilient and holds up well to everyday foot traffic. With basic care (see our Rug Care Guide), a hand-tufted wool rug can last many years.

Custom & Bespoke

Can I get a rug in a different size?

Yes — every design can be made in a custom size. Use “Request a Quote” on any product page and select Custom, or reach out directly.

Can I change the colourway?

Most designs offer alternate colourways, and we can discuss a fully custom palette as well — just mention it in your enquiry.

Can you create a completely original design?

Yes, that's what our Bespoke process is for. Share a reference image, moodboard or sketch and we'll take it from there.

Can I send you a sketch or inspiration photo?

Absolutely — that's often the best way to start a bespoke enquiry.

Ordering

How long does production take?

Most rugs are made to order in 2–3 weeks; custom and bulk orders are quoted individually based on complexity.

Can I request a sample first?

Yes — use the “Request a Sample” button on any product page.

What if the colour isn't quite what I expected?

Reach out to us directly — since every rug is made to order, we'd rather talk it through with you before and during production than have you unhappy with the result.

How do I pay?

Every order starts as an enquiry rather than an instant checkout — we'll confirm final pricing and payment details with you directly once your specification is set.

International & Shipping

Do you ship to the US, Europe and elsewhere?

Yes — House of Souravi ships worldwide from Bhadohi, India.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping time depends on destination and is confirmed at the time of your order, in addition to the production lead time.

Who is responsible for duties and taxes?

This varies by destination — we'll let you know what to expect for your country when we confirm your order.

Can I track my order?

Yes, tracking details are provided once your rug ships.

Trade & Wholesale

Do you offer trade pricing?

Yes — see our Trade & Wholesale page for interior designers, dealers, retailers and hospitality projects.

Can designers request samples?

Yes, sampling is available for trade partners — mention it in your trade enquiry.

Do you take on hospitality or bulk projects?

Yes, we work with hospitality businesses and can support bulk and project-based orders — lead times and MOQs are discussed per project.
