About Rich Class Decor
Four generations of Indian textile expertise. Over 200 master weavers. One family that moved from a wool trading post in Rajasthan to your home in Canada and the United States.
Generation One
It Started with a Wool Trader in Rajasthan
Our grandfather, Late Sri Chand Mittal, laid the foundation. He was a wool trader based in Bikaner and Beawar, Rajasthan grading, sourcing, and trading raw wool at a time when that work demanded deep expertise and deep community trust. He built Ram Handloom Industries from nothing, with his hands and his word.
Our father inherited that foundation and expanded it, taking the blanket and wool processing business further, building his own reputation as a manufacturer and exporter. Then, in the late 1980s, an overseas buyer from Texas came knocking and asked if he could make saddle blankets. That single conversation opened the door to international export. Shakun Exports was born and so was our family's global reach.
We were watching all of this grow up.
From Panipat, Haryana

Generation Two
The Woman Who Changed Everything
Our mother, Mrs. Sumedha Mittal, stepped in to support our father — and went on to build something no one had seen before. She became a global wool sourcing agent, starting with raw sheep wool from Pakistan and growing her network to span South Africa, Australia, and beyond. She named her business Shakun Overseas and built it entirely on knowledge, relationships, and trust.
She understands wool at a molecular level fibre length, vegetable matter content, the exact difference between wool that makes a rug last ten years and wool that lasts a lifetime. Over forty years, she became one of the most respected voices in the global wool trade.
In 2026, Mrs. Sumedha Mittal is the only standing woman in the Indian wool trade. Not one of few. The only one. She achieved this at a time when society told her she could not in the 1980s, a woman in international trade faced active resistance and criticism. She pressed forward anyway. That resilience is woven into every rug we make.

Generation Three
From a UK Student Room to Langley, BC
In 2003, brothers Gagan and Sobi were studying in the UK. Our mother had sent handmade wall hangings from India to decorate their room. Their friends wanted to buy them. That was the seed.
Sobi returned to India and spent years travelling internationally with his mother, sourcing the world's finest wools and identifying market gaps. In 2008, they opened a wool warehouse in Bikaner. In 2009, they built a yarn manufacturing mill in Panipat once again named Ram Handloom Industries, honouring the foundation our grandfather laid.
Not outsourced yarn. Not blended-down affordable yarn. Premium, low-VM, long-fibre wool — the kind that separates a 30-year rug from a 3-year one. In 2016, Rich Class Decor officially launched. In 2023, Sobi moved to Langley, British Columbia, to complete the full four-generation cycle by meeting customers directly for the first time.
The Heart of the Operation
200 Master Weavers. One Big Heart.
Today, Rich Class Decor works with over 200 master weavers in India, with the full infrastructure to scale to 500+ on demand. These are not anonymous factory workers. We know their names. We know their families. That is not a marketing line it is the direct result of how our mother built this operation from day one.
A Programme Built for Women
Supporting Widows & Single MothersOur mother built a programme specifically for widows and single mothers in weaving communities because she knows what it means to face every barrier as a woman who needs to work. Every woman in this programme is a skilled artisan, not a cheap labour source.
Same-Day Pay
Fair Wages, Delivered That DayOur weavers are paid the day they complete their work. Not at month's end like industry standard. That day. In the Indian textile industry, this is almost unheard of — and it changes lives at a very real, immediate level.
Mobile Looms
We Bring the Loom to YouIf a weaver cannot come to the facility — because of children, age, or distance — we bring the loom to her home. Sized to her space, typically 2×3 or 3×5 feet with max width of 8ft The craft comes to the artisan, not the other way around.
Our Own Yarn Mill
Ram Handloom Industries, IndiaUnlike most rug brands, we manufacture our own yarn — controlling quality from raw fibre to finished product. Premium, low-VM, long-fibre wool. No blending down. No compromise. This is what makes our rugs last a lifetime, not a few years.
A Dying Art, Kept Alive
Preserving Generational CraftTraditional hand-weaving is aging out. The master weavers from our grandfather's generation are getting older and fewer young people are learning. Our programme is also a preservation effort — bringing new artisans into a tradition that deserves to survive.
Gagan & Sobi Mittal
Langley, BC, CanadaBrothers carrying a four-generation textile legacy into North American homes. Sobi is based in Langley, BC the bridge between decades of Indian craft expertise and the Canadian and US customers who now bring our rugs home.
Ethical Business
Fair wages, honest relationships, full transparency. We are a small company with a big heart and we never compromise on how we treat the people who make our products.
Real Sustainability
Natural wool, traditional methods, our own yarn mill. We control everything from raw fibre to finished rug — no synthetic shortcuts, no greenwashing.
Human Connection
We moved from a B2B warehouse to a direct-to-consumer brand because we believe the people who make these rugs and the people who live with them deserve to know each other.
From Panipat to Your Home
Four generations. One family. Countless hands. From our grandfather grading wool in Rajasthan, to our mother sourcing fibres across the globe, to the weavers in our programme creating something beautiful from their own homes, to you, placing a handwoven rug in your living room.
That is the full journey. That is Rich Class Decor.
