What Goes Into a House of Souravi Rug

We keep our materials and techniques deliberately focused — a small set of choices, done properly, rather than a long list for its own sake.

Material

100% New Zealand Wool

Every House of Souravi rug is made from 100% New Zealand wool, chosen for its softness, natural resilience and rich hand-feel. It's a fibre that holds colour well, resists matting, and gets better with the kind of everyday wear a rug is meant to see.

Construction

How Our Rugs Are Made

Every piece starts as 100% Handmade construction, hand-tufted by artisans in Bhadohi. Within that, we work in a few different pile techniques depending on the design.

Cut Pile

A classic, even hand-tufted finish with a soft, uniform surface — our most common construction, used across most of the collection.

Loop Pile

Uncut loops of yarn create a textured, slightly firmer surface, often combined with cut pile for high-low dimension.

Carved Pile

Sections of the pile are hand-carved after tufting to create raised, sculptural texture — used on our more dimensional, nature-inspired designs.

Sculpted Cord Pile

Rope-like raised cords are built up in relief against a flatter ground, giving certain abstract designs real dimension.

Backing

Anti-Skid Canvas Backing

Every rug is finished with an anti-skid canvas backing for stability underfoot, and backed by a 1-year warranty. Pile height across the collection is 20mm.

Every product page lists the exact material, construction, technique and pile height for that piece.
