Dhurries from India: flat-woven, practical and beautiful

Dhurries from India are flat-woven rugs that have been made in Indian homes for centuries. Traditionally woven in cotton, they are now also made in wool, jute and recycled fibres. They are light, reversible and easy to wash, which makes them one of the most practical rugs a store can sell.

When buyers ask about dhurries, we usually ask where they will be used. Kitchens, kids’ rooms, hallways and outdoor spaces all suit dhurries, and that guides fibre and design.

Types of dhurries we offer

Cotton dhurries

Woven on pit looms in Panipat, Jaipur and Mirzapur in stripes, geometrics and kilim patterns. Light and machine washable in smaller sizes.

Wool dhurries

Warmer and more substantial, with rich colours and good durability for living rooms.

Jute and natural fibre dhurries

Natural, textured and sustainable for relaxed interiors.

Recycled fibre dhurries

Woven from recycled PET or textile waste, popular for outdoor and eco ranges.

Kilims

Kilims are a close cousin of dhurries, flat-woven with intricate motifs. We supply both, and kilim fabric is also used for floor cushions and poufs.

Sizes

We weave dhurries from small 60 x 90 cm mats to large room sizes, with runners for hallways. Custom sizes are easy.

Colours and design

Stripes in indigo, ochre and natural are the classics. Weavers can match your colour references after a small strike-off.

Pairing

Dhurries look wonderful layered under tufted rugs or alongside cushion covers in matching colours.

Minimum quantities and packing

Minimums are per design and size. Dhurries are rolled or folded and wrapped for export. We price ex-factory, FOB, CFR or CIF depending on how you prefer to ship.

Questions about dhurries from India

Can dhurries be washed?

Smaller cotton dhurries can be machine washed. Larger ones should be hand washed or professionally cleaned.

Are dhurries reversible?

Yes, most are woven to look good on both sides.

Are dhurries suitable for outdoors?

Recycled PET dhurries are made for outdoor use.

What affects the price

Fibre, size, design complexity and weave density matter most. Cotton is the most economical, wool costs more, and complex kilim patterns take more weaving time.

Styling dhurries

Dhurries suit kitchens, children’s rooms, verandas and hallways. Layering a striped dhurrie under a smaller tufted rug is a popular look, and dhurrie fabric also makes beautiful floor cushions.
