About Us
Founded in 2009, Armadillo is a purpose-driven business committed to making a positive impact both at home and globally. As an Australian brand with showrooms in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Dallas, Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, we create handcrafted rugs that "lie lightly on this earth." Made by artisans in India and Nepal using natural materials and energy-efficient processes, our rugs are designed to last and combat today's throwaway culture.
As a certified B Corp, we uphold the highest standards in sustainability, social responsibility, and transparency. Giving back is central to our mission, and we have supported global philanthropic initiatives since 2014, beginning with the KVM school in India. Our charitable efforts now extend to seven organizations in India, Nepal, Australia, and the US.
