Radical Transparency®
Our creations are designed around five principles:
TRADITIONAL ARTISANSHIP Every Lavor Ombra rug is individually hand-knotted on a traditional Persian loom by highly skilled artisans in Bhadohi, India. Unlike other variants of “hand made“, weaving takes time: each knot is tied by hand, creating extraordinary structural integrity, depth and inimitable character.
EXCEPTIONAL NATURAL FIBERS and DUAL LONGEVITY Natural fibres determine how they feel, age, reflect light and how they wear over time. We carefully select premium wool, natural silks and other botanical materials for their strength, texture, softness and enduring beauty.
BUILT FOR GENERATIONS Hand-knotted rugs are among the few furnishings intended to last for generations. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, they develop character with age, becoming softer underfoot while retaining their structural integrity. Our textiles - their looms and yarns - are similarly considered, realized and finished.
SUPPORTING ARTISANSHIP, CULTURE & SUSTAINABILITY Every object created is an investment in human skill, cultural continuity, and environmental balance. Lavor Ombra does not just commission; we support the survival of generational knowledge, upfront disclosure of provenance in our materials and artisanship, sustainable, plastic-free, and water-minimizing creations.
RADICAL TRANSPARENCY® Transparency is integrity - honours the artisan - respects nature, the human and the sentient within the process. Transparency allows clients to invest with confidence in rugs, textiles and objects - that will invite you to ask new questions and ultimately, hold their value and love in your environment.

“You feel the hands that have made them – they are all a little imperfect.“
The real experts – master artisans – their work isn’t scalable, nor can you find their phone numbers online
Luxury is Consideration
Full Circle
The idea of a circular economy envisions products that are designed and optimized for a continual circle of recycling and dissembling. Appreciating inherent, natural imperfections is also our mindset. Lavor Ombra supports a regenerative economy, grounded in kindness - we trust that you will not easily “ do away “ with our objects.
out of the pot
All silk is produced by silkworms. Lavor Ombra is committed to sourcing silks indigenous to India, as with all fibres and yarns, that are sustainable, utliise the minimum water possible and are cruelty-free. For this reason, we do not use “ machine smooth “ Mulberry Silk in our productions.
the world's dirtiest crop
Conventional cotton production has severe ecological and human costs. While it is a natural and biodegradable fiber, the conventional cultivation and production has led to massive water depletion, chemical pollution, and social exploitation. “Organic cotton “ - uses minimally less pollutants.
Embrace the natural
Whilst sewage accounts for the largest overall volume of river waste, textile dyeing releases billions of liters of highly toxic, non-biodegradable chemicals and heavy metals into the ecosystem. Processing 1kg of fabric can require up to 200 liters of water, most of which remains heavily contaminated, creating "dead zones" of aquatic life. Lavor Ombra’s policy of “natural yarns only” is based upon our wish not to contribute to this debilitating cycle.
Stars of the class
Bamboo silk, made with a closed-loop lyocell, has reduced CO2 emissions by 86% compared to traditional silk. Banana plants considered agricultural waste products transformed into yarns; as with bamboo, their production requires no additional land, pesticides, or dedicated water irrigation. But a few catalysts that inform our sourcing and production at Lavor Ombra.
At once, sustainable, cultural, traditional and circular
Sourcing, spinning and weaving yarns across India moves us from high-altitude renewable animal fibres to forest foraging and closed-loop agricultural upcycling. Each possess overlapping environmental, social and cultural preservation aspects.
