Karur: India’s Kitchen Linen Centre
Karur, in Tamil Nadu, is where much of India’s kitchen linen is woven: yarn-dyed checks, Madras plaids, waffle and herringbone weaves, plus printed and embroidered tea towels for retail. As a buying agent, Looms matches your design to the right mill, approves lab dips and samples with you, and inspects bulk to AQL 2.5 before your kitchen cloth export from India ships. Buyers pay no agent fee.

FROM OUR ORDER BOOK
When a “tea towel” order was really a kitchen towel
An importer’s purchase order asked for tea towels, so that is what we sampled. The sample was rejected without a reason. Only when we asked for the full details did we learn the buyer wanted a kitchen towel. The products are close, but not close enough. Now we confirm the exact product, fabric, weave, weight and size before any sample is made, whatever the PO calls it.
