Trade Program for Interior Designers & Retailers

Trade and wholesale pricing on 1,400+ handmade rugs for interior designers, architects, home stagers, hospitality projects and retailers, with custom commissions woven to your specification, rugs on approval and trade holds for client presentations, and free shipping to your studio, store or the job site.

Rugistan® buys Afghan hand-knotted rugs and kilims at the source, in Afghanistan, and Persian and other Oriental rugs here in the U.S., so you get one-of-a-kind Persian, Afghan, Turkish and vintage pieces, quiet modern designs and kilims at prices that leave room for your margin. Every handmade rug carries our lifetime guarantee of authenticity and quality. Two showrooms, one in Evanston filling two storefronts side by side on Dempster St and one in Chicago's Lincoln Square, and one contact who answers fast.
