Torana Carpets and Rugs, Beijing, Shanghai and Lhasa: handmade Tibetan rugs from our workshop in Tibet, antique carpets, custom area rugs, Afghan carpets and kilims, Himalayan jewelry, Tibetan cashmere and more.
Torana Tibetan rugs are made from pure Tibetan wool at our own workshop in Lhasa, with unique designs, both traditional and contemporary. Our carpets are sold in our own carpet stores, as well as directly to overseas customers.
Torana stores carry handmade rugs from the Michaelian and Kohlberg company as well as our own. We also stock some unique items you will find nowhere else, including Tibetan Wangden rugs, antique Chinese carpets, antique Tibetan rugs, Tibetan cashmere, Tibetan jewelry and artisan textiles from the Dropenling handicrafts center in Lhasa.We regularly hold special exhibitions and support artisan and craft projects, particularly in Tibet.
Custom rugs are a specialty: all aspects of our carpets can be customized to suit your home, including size, color and design. We provide a personal service including design proposals and sketches.
Beijing Stores update: we have left our former Kempinski Hotel location and we have opened a larger 200m2 store in the Shunyi district (between central Beijing and the airport), and a boutique store in the Nali Mall in the San Li Tun district downtown. Store details on this page.
Recommendations
Clean, Green and Safe
Torana Tibetan rugs are free from toxic dyes and volatile organics (VOCs). This is important because many machine-made furnishings and poor quality handmade rugs can bring unnecessary and unwanted chemicals into your home. Read more about this, and how our handmade carpets are different from the rest.
Affordable Rugs of Good Value
Torana handmade rugs are affordable because we own our own workshop and source directly from it. Prices at our stores and on our website are typically less than half of what you would pay for comparable rugs in stores in Europe and America. Since we switched production to our own dedicated workshop in Lhasa we have reduced our prices significantly: a genuine Torana Tibetan rug now costs 33% less than in 2008 and more than 40% less than it did when we began selling rugs in 1998.
