The Eastern Mills Story
Nearly eight decades of heritage craftsmanship from Bhadohi, India's legendary rug capital
Established in 1947 in Bhadohi—the legendary rug capital of India—Eastern Mills represents nearly eight decades of uncompromising excellence in handcrafted rug and carpet manufacturing. As a third-generation family business, we have evolved from our humble beginnings into a global leader while maintaining our deep commitment to traditional craftsmanship and ethical manufacturing.
Our heritage is woven into the very fabric of Bhadohi's artisan tradition, where generations of master weavers have perfected their craft. Every rug tells a story—of artisan skill passed through generations, of materials sourced with integrity, of designs that honor both heritage and contemporary vision.
