== InnerAsia Trading Company ==
InnerAsia Trading Company is a producer of high-end, unique Tibetan Rugs.
InnerAsia is unique in its passion for weaving Tibetan rugs and is the exclusive producer of authentic hand-made Tibetan rugs woven in Tibet. What makes InnerAsia's Tibetan carpets unique is the use of Changphel or Northern Highland sheep wool. All the wool that goes into these one-of-a-kind Tibetan rugs made in Tibet, is hand-carded, hand-spun and hand-dyed. This wool coupled with the superbly skillful Tibetan weavers who weave with great passion and impart every rug from Tibet with a soul and spirited interpretation of the design. The result is a unique Tibetan rug that smiles at you and enriches your home with warmth and great cheer.
Kesang Tashi, founder of InnerAsia Trading Company, a Darmouth-educated, Tibetan born international banker, found his country's centuries old rug weaving tradition endangered. He took on the challenge to revitalize the cottage industry by initiating Tibet's own arts and crafts movement, thereby restoring the pride of this ancient heritage and ensuring its continuity. The result of this effort is Gangchen Carpets of Tibet. It also fulfills Tashi's objective of generating livelihood for Tibet's wool producing nomads, wool cders, yarn spinners, rugs weavers and many associated artisans in his native homeland.
'''A Proud Heritage'''
Gangchen, "The Land of Snows" is the name Tibetans call their homeland. Gangchen ahs also been the home of a time-honored tradition of rug weaving which crafted brilliantly ornamental rugs that once adorned the monasteries and aristocratic estates of Tibet.
'''Authentic to the Heritage'''
For the first time since the 11th century, inspired creations of these classic Tibetan carpets are now available worldwide exclusively through InnerAsia. Created for the discerning designer and collector, the Gangchen Collection couples uncompromised integrity with authenticity - every Gangchen carpet is handwoven in Tibet from 100% hand-carded and hand-spun wool from Tibetan highland sheep, considered the best in the world.
'''Brilliant Mastery of Color'''
Tibetan dyemasters enjoy a passion for color. Using masterful techniques and the finest dyes, they produce hues of exceptional richness and depth and an unlimited pallette of sensational colors that have been widely recognized in the industry as a Gangchen Carpet trademark.
'''Custom Tibetan Rugs'''
"Ngatha" in Tibetan means "made to order carpet". It is a tradition that dates back to the days of custom rugs for the aristocracy and InnerAsia upholds that tradition through its custom rugs program.
