Supply Chain Transparency
At Restoration and Renovation, transparency, dignity, and craftsmanship form the foundation of our supply chain. Our handmade rugs are not just products — they are the result of generations of skill, deep-rooted community relationships, and a commitment to ethical practices.
Rooted in Heritage, Made with Integrity
All our rugs are handcrafted in Bhadohi, India — a globally recognized hub for rug artistry. We work directly with artisan families and local workshops to ensure each piece is made under conditions that honor traditional craftsmanship while upholding human rights and safety standards.
Our Ethical Sourcing Principles
- We collaborate only with workshops and suppliers who follow ethical labor standards and prohibit child labor, forced labor, or exploitative practices.
- Our team maintains personal relationships with artisans, ensuring transparency and mutual respect in every stage of production.
- We informally review working conditions and ensure artisans are paid fairly for their craft and time.
- All materials used in our rugs are sourced with care — we prefer natural fibers, local suppliers, and low-impact processes wherever possible.
- We prioritize working with vendors who uphold values of sustainability, safety, and community development.
Commitment to Education & Empowerment
We believe ethical practices are not static — they evolve. Our small team is continuously educating itself on better sourcing models, labor rights, and fair trade policies. We also support the artisans we work with by promoting financial literacy, investing in small tools and training, and encouraging entrepreneurship.
A Transparent Future
We recognize that our journey toward a fully transparent, socially conscious supply chain is ongoing. As we grow, we are committed to strengthening our relationships with artisan communities and integrating more formal oversight to ensure that our values remain at the heart of everything we create.
