Since 1996, Garuda Woven Art has certainly been living up to its name. The company's elegant and chemical-free handwoven rugs, made in Nepal under strictly enforced humane working conditions, are intricately embroidered using the finest materials.

The Tibetan wool, unbleached hemp, and Chinese silk used to make the rugs and runners are tinted with vegetable dyes produced in Nepal and India. By using indigenous plants such as pomegranate, indigo, and walnut for the dyes, Garuda not only gets vibrant hues but also encourages the development of local agriculture and keeps nasty chemicals out of waterways.

A typical 6' x 9' Garuda rug costs about $3,000. For more specific information about pricing, availability, and custom orders, contact the company through its website.
