Jaipur Living products can be found in the finest homes, and the company prides itself in providing only the highest quality products, a transparent and ethical supply chain, and a distinctively thoughtful customer experience, with personalized support and custom offerings.

The company continues to grow rapidly, experiencing double-digit annual growth every year for the past decade. This growth can be attributed to the care Jaipur Living puts not only in their customers, but their employees as well. Employees at Jaipur Living are encouraged to collaborate, think independently, and stretch the creative process to develop new ways of marketing and distributing their products around the world.
In August 2022, the company opened a new studio adjacent to its headquarters that, at over 17,000 square feet, functions as a communal space for design professionals to visit to experience Jaipur Living's products. The studio encapsules not only our beautiful product but also ways Jaipur makes lives beautiful through The Jaipur Rugs Foundation.
