If you’re looking for a rug manufacturer who truly understands design, detail, and partnership, welcome. At NP Rugs, we’ve spent over three decades helping European brands turn ideas into handcrafted rugs made in Nepal. This guide walks you through how we collaborate, what to expect, and why so many designers and retailers trust us to bring their visions to life.
Let’s Start with Why Collaboration Matters
In Europe, design is personal. You don’t just want to import rugs, you want to create something that fits your brand, your space, and your story. That’s exactly what we do at NP Rugs.
We’re not a factory pushing catalog pieces. We work with you. Whether you run a concept store in Amsterdam, furnish boutique hotels in Italy, or design interiors in Copenhagen, our team helps you shape rugs that match your brand identity and your audience’s expectations.
We’ve been doing this since 1991, and we’ve learned one simple truth, the best results come from collaboration, not transactions.
You can read more about our process on our Rug Manufacturer & Wholesaler page.
How We Collaborate, Step by Step
Working with us is simple. Here’s how most European brands create rugs with NP Rugs:
1. You Share Your Idea
It all starts with your concept, a mood board, sketch, color reference, or even just a theme. We listen carefully, ask questions, and help refine your idea into a workable design.
2. We Help You Choose the Right Material
Depending on the look and feel you want, we’ll guide you through materials like New Zealand wool, jute, hemp, or silk. Many European brands now prefer sustainable fibers, which we’ve been using long before “eco-friendly” became a buzzword.
If you’re exploring materials, take a look at our Rugs Material Guide.
3. We Create a Sample
Once the design and materials are set, our artisans produce a sample. You’ll see the actual texture, color, and pattern, and we’ll fine-tune it based on your feedback. We don’t move forward until you’re completely happy.
4. Bulk Production Begins
After approval, production starts at our Kathmandu workshops. Every rug is handmade and checked multiple times for accuracy, quality, and consistency. Our team monitors the entire process so you stay updated, no surprises.
5. Safe Delivery to Europe
We handle the packing, labeling, and documentation for EU import compliance. You’ll get photos, progress updates, and tracking until your rugs arrive. And yes, we help even after delivery, you can refer to our Rug Care Tips for maintenance advice.

European Design Meets Nepalese Craftsmanship
When we work with European brands, the results are special. You bring modern design sensibility, clean lines, subtle tones, minimalist shapes, and we bring centuries of weaving expertise from the Himalayas.
This balance creates rugs that are elegant, durable, and authentic. Our artisans are second- and third-generation weavers who understand detail and patience. They give each rug character, something machines simply can’t do.

Sustainability Comes Naturally to Us
We don’t treat sustainability as an option, it’s part of who we are. From using natural wool and jute fibers to plant-based dyes and low-waste processes, every rug we make respects both people and the planet.
This is something European buyers deeply value, and it’s why our long-term partners return year after year. You can also explore how sustainability shapes the rug industry in our article on Certifications in Selecting Sustainable Rugs.
Communication and Logistics, Always Smooth
We understand what matters to European clients: clear communication, reliability, and delivery on time. Our export team handles it all, updates, logistics, customs paperwork, and transport.
You’ll always have a dedicated contact person who knows your project and keeps you in the loop. We make sure distance never becomes a barrier. For smart importing strategies, check Why Direct Importing Can Lower Costs for Wholesale Rug Buyers.
Tailoring Rugs for Your Brand
Every brand has a different story, and your rugs should reflect that.
Maybe you’re designing warm, textured rugs for Nordic interiors or contemporary pieces for Italian hotels. Either way, we’ll help you get the right size, material, and color combination.
If you’re planning large projects, our Rug Size Guide is a good starting point. You can also explore different collections like handmade rugs, jute rugs, and hand-knotted rugs for inspiration.
A Partnership That Grows with You
We don’t stop once your first order is delivered. Most of our European clients continue working with us season after season, developing new patterns, adjusting colors, and introducing new materials.
We share insights from our side of the world too, about trends, materials, and production techniques.
