Rug makers with a wealth of

custom experience

In 2001, Lapchi revolutionized the hand-made rug industry, serving as a model for high-end rug companies world-wide.

 Founders Salman Khan and Kerry Smith, joining their experiences in antique rugs and custom-made bread, pioneered the infrastructure in Nepal to produce new rugs, one at a time, to exact specifications.

Lapchi simultaneously became a founding supporter of Goodweave, an International Organization leading the fight against illegal child labor in the carpet industry.

The Lapchi approach centers around quality at the source, direct collaboration, and providing the necessary tools for custom creations.

To date, Lapchi has produced thousands of rugs, born out of Lapchi Rug Design Studios and partner showrooms throughout the US and Canada, and realized in our Kathmandu, Nepal and Lahore, Pakistan production facilities.
