Our Story: Crafting Legacies Since 1974

</h1>

<div className="flex flex-col gap-4 text-sm max-sm:text-base">
|
||
<p>
|
||
The story of Soorya Carpet Industries begins
|
||
in the early 1970s, when Mr. Laxman Shrestha
|
||
and Mrs. Renuka Shrestha left their village
|
||
in Dolakha and moved to Kathmandu with the
|
||
ambition of building something meaningful.
|
||
What started as a small rug-weaving
|
||
initiative in a single room eventually grew
|
||
into one of Nepal’s largest carpet
|
||
manufacturing enterprises. Through
|
||
perseverance and vision, they provided
|
||
livelihoods to more than 1,000 skilled and
|
||
unskilled workers and made a significant
|
||
contribution to the country’s GDP. For over
|
||
two decades, Soorya Carpet Industries earned
|
||
international recognition, particularly in
|
||
Germany, for exporting high-quality,
|
||
hand-knotted carpets.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
By the late 1990s, however, Nepal’s carpet
|
||
industry suffered severe setbacks owing to
|
||
economic, social, and political challenges.
|
||
Global scrutiny following child labour
|
||
controversies in the wider industry, coupled
|
||
with the instability caused by the Maoist
|
||
insurgency, crippled the sector. Like many
|
||
others, Soorya Carpet Industries was forced
|
||
to scale down and eventually suspend
|
||
production.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The industry never quite returned to its
|
||
early-1990s mass-scale export peak, yet it
|
||
found ways to reinvent itself and stay
|
||
relevant. Recognizing this shift, Soorya
|
||
Carpet Industries transitioned from
|
||
large-scale production to a boutique model,
|
||
focusing on the niche luxury segment with
|
||
custom-made, limited-edition rugs.

The Kaleen Rebrand Story: A New Chapter

<p>
|
||
Guided by the aspiration to create premium,
|
||
ethical and artistic carpets, this journey
|
||
led to the launch of Kaleen—our exclusive
|
||
designer carpet brand.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Kaleen celebrates craftsmanship, artistry,
|
||
and ethics. We create bespoke,
|
||
limited-edition rugs that range from
|
||
time-honoured traditional designs to bold,
|
||
innovative forms, all crafted to complement
|
||
modern interiors and aesthetics. Our
|
||
collections are inspired by beautiful
|
||
landscapes of Nepal and the five elements of
|
||
life: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Metal.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Handmade carpets have long been central to
|
||
interior design—a tradition that remains
|
||
timeless. At Kaleen, we are proud to carry
|
||
this heritage forward with integrity and
|
||
creativity. Our ambition is to build a
|
||
strong brand identity, uphold ethical
