Panipat Handloom: Durries, Throws and Home Textiles for Export

Panipat, in Haryana, is often called India's "city of weavers". It has a long tradition of handloom weaving and has grown into a major centre for home textiles, recycled yarn and furnishing products. For importers and retailers, it offers a wide range of products made to order.

What you can source from Panipat

• Durries and rugs: flat-woven cotton and blended rugs in stripes, geometrics and solids.
• Throws: woven throws with fringes, for sofas and beds.
• Cushion covers: woven, textured and printed styles.
• Handloom bedsheets: cotton sheets in checks and stripes.
• Table runners: cotton and jute blends.

How made-to-order works

Most handloom products are made to your brief. You share reference images, colour codes (for example Pantone), sizes and quantities. A sample is woven for your approval. After approval, bulk production follows the sample, then goods are checked, packed and shipped.

Tips for a smooth first order

• Send clear reference images and colour codes.
• Confirm sizes in centimetres and inches.
• Ask for a photo or video of the sample before it is couriered.
• Agree packing: folded or rolled, poly bags, carton marks and labels.
• Plan for natural variation, which is part of handloom character.

Shipping and documents

Handloom products are usually shipped by sea in cartons or bales. Standard documents include the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin. Some destinations offer reduced duties for Indian handloom under trade agreements; check with your customs broker.
