Table runner sourcing from India.
Table runners are a weekly repeater on retail-décor shelves — hand-block-printed cotton from Jaipur, hand-woven cotton and jute from Panipat, beaded and sequinned statement pieces from Jaipur and Delhi, embroidered runners from Chikan-work artisans. Asia Sourcing manages development, pattern approval, wash-fastness testing and export documentation.

Pattern lock discipline
Hand-block-printed runners run a well-known risk: pattern drift between the signed sample and the production run as factory blocks age and new blocks are carved. Our DPI protocol runs an on-line pattern-match check at 30% completion against the signed PPS; any production falling outside tolerance is pulled before the full lot proceeds.
