Handmade Rugs and Textiles
Supporting a Flourishing Artisan Economy
We partner with artisans who sustain generational weaving traditions. Without them, these practices would be lost in modern production.
Know How Your Textile Was Made
The artisans weave on traditional looms with yarns made of natural fibers, often sourced from the local community.

What is Elma Exchange?
Artisan-centered
We strive to celebrate artisans and the dedication to their craft by putting their stories at the forefront of each purchase. Their creativity transforms each piece into living works of art that we get to enjoy in our homes.
Our success is tied directly with their work, so we share a percentage of our annual profits with them.
Sustainably-minded
Elma Exchange prioritizes partnering with artisans who weave hand-made textiles, with locally sourced materials and sustainable practices. Our partnering artisans use natural dyes and avoid synthetic yarns.
In our current world of fast fashion that has immense consequences for the health of our planet and people, we seek to reduce waste in home decor. We offer artisanally hand-made quality that can last a lifetime, and our vintage collection brings a new life to previously loved items.
