If you’re searching for a dependable rug manufacturer that combines craftsmanship with modern production, this guide is for you. You’ll learn how handmade rugs from Nepal make their way into European homes and how to work directly with NP Rugs for bulk or custom rug projects. After reading, you’ll know what to expect from quality, process, and partnership.
Why Europeans Appreciate Handmade Rugs
Across Europe, handmade rugs are more than floor coverings, they bring warmth, character, and personality into a space. From Scandinavian homes that value simplicity to Italian villas filled with colour, rugs play an important role in interior design.
People today also care about how things are made. They look for products that are ethical, sustainable, and long-lasting. That’s one reason NP Rugs, founded in 1991 in Kathmandu, Nepal, has earned the trust of European buyers. Every rug reflects the skills of Nepalese artisans who use natural materials and time-tested methods to create something beautiful and reliable.
From the Hills of Nepal to Homes in Europe
The story of each rug begins in Nepal’s mountain valleys. Local artisans weave on traditional wooden looms, following patterns passed down for generations. NP Rugs started as a small workshop over 30 years ago and has grown into a leading rug manufacturer and wholesaler for European markets.
Our process combines craft and care. We use high-quality wool, jute, and hemp, dyed naturally, and hand-weave each rug with precision. This attention to detail gives every rug its unique texture and strength, something mass-produced rugs can’t offer. You can learn more about the difference here: Handmade vs Machine-Made Rugs.
For European designers and retailers, working with NP Rugs means getting consistent quality, transparent production, and on-time delivery. Read more about how we work with bulk orders on our Wholesale Rugs page.
The Craft That Goes Into Every Rug
Each rug is the result of patience and skill. Depending on size and design, it can take weeks or even months to complete one piece. The hand-knotted technique, often used in our workshops, ties thousands of knots per square metre, giving the rug lasting strength.
For European buyers, this means you’re getting something durable and unique. No two rugs are ever the same, which is part of their charm. If you’d like to understand the weaving styles better, check out Hand-Knotted vs Hand-Tufted Rugs.
What “Made in Nepal” Really Means
When a rug is made in Nepal, it carries more than a label, it represents ethical craftsmanship and sustainable production. NP Rugs uses eco-friendly materials such as Tibetan and New Zealand wool and natural jute. Dyes are non-toxic and safe for both the environment and workers.
We also follow fair trade practices, ensuring that our artisans are paid fairly and work in safe conditions. This matters to many European buyers who want to source products responsibly. You can read more about the environmental benefits in Eco-Friendly Appeal of Rugs.

Simple Care for Long-Lasting Rugs
