We are Human.

At Ruffledthread, we go beyond just about bringing quality handmade products to your home; we fuel the passion that drives the families that make these materials. These families of utterly skilled men and women are the unwavering support that drives Ruffledthread to be the best in what we do. Their passion becomes our passion.

“The weaves of the Kachchh run in our blood!”, says Vankar Devji Bhimji, on our Vintage Indian wool throw blanket.

We care about mother earth.
