The Story of Borg Layton — From Desert Threads to Global Luxury

The Story of Borg Layton — From Desert Threads to Global Luxury

A loom, strands of wool, cotton, and jute — and a young dreamer determined to make a mark.

1. Our Legacy of Handwoven Rugs

Borg Layton has been crafting handwoven rugs, kilims, dhurries, and mats rooted in tradition, skill, and artistry. Each piece reflects the patience and passion of artisans who live and breathe this craft.

“We don’t just make rugs — we live the craft.”

2. About the Owner: Shrawan

I’m Shrawan, 23 years old, from Balesar, Jodhpur, Rajasthan. After completing my 12th grade, I chose to pursue this craft in a way that stands apart from the old methods. I strive to modernize traditional weaving while keeping heritage and sustainability alive. My goal is to show that age is no barrier when dedication and passion guide the way.

3. Women & Community at the Heart

From the start, village women have been the backbone of our work. They spin, dye, and weave fibers with care, giving life to every rug. Today, over 60% of our team is female, preserving the heritage with pride and precision.

4. Pure Materials & Eco-Friendly Philosophy

We use only natural, sustainable materials:

  • Wool, cotton, and jute

  • Organic dyes: turmeric, indigo, mud

Every rug we make respects the Earth while adding warmth and beauty to homes.

5. Recognition Through Craft

Even before the brand name, our work spoke for itself. Clients admired our ethical practices, meticulous craftsmanship, and timeless designs. Quality and authenticity always came first.

6. Sustainability: A Way of Life

For us, sustainability is foundational. From biodegradable packaging to responsibly sourced fibers, every rug reflects care for the environment.

“What we take from the Earth, we return with care.”

7. The Name: Borg Layton

In 2020, we named our journey Borg Layton:

  • “Borg” — strength and structure

  • “Layton” — grace, elegance, timeless charm

It represents Indian artisan heritage with a global vision.

8. Global Reach, Local Soul

Our rugs, kilims, dhurries, and carpets now reach homes across Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Each piece carries a story of tradition, craftsmanship, and sustainable artistry.

9. Today & Tomorrow

Borg Layton is a living legacy of handwoven, eco-friendly, and artisan-made floor décor.

Our mission is simple:

  • Keep craft sustainable

  • Infuse design with life and emotion

  • Celebrate timeless elegance in every piece

“Each Borg Layton creation ties tradition to the present — and carries it forward for generations to come.”
