Patchwork Home Decor from Jaipur: Wall Hangings, Pouf Covers, Floor Cushions and Table Runners
Updated: Oct 6
Patchwork home decor brings instant colour and texture to a room. A single wall hanging or pouf can carry dozens of embroidered fabric pieces, each with its own motif, mirror or bead detail. For home decor retailers, boho interior brands and hospitality buyers, patchwork from Jaipur offers pieces that look one of a kind at a wholesale price.
Where patchwork comes from
The Development Commissioner (Handicrafts) notes that patchwork flourishes particularly in Rajasthan and Gujarat, using cotton, silk and wool, and is used for quilts, bags, furnishings and wearables.
The tradition grew from thrift and skill. In the Banni area of Kutch, patchwork has been described as layering worn and torn fabric to recycle and strengthen it, often for household quilts. In western Rajasthan, appliqué from Barmer sews smaller pieces onto a larger cloth, and modern work adds mirrors and beads. Gujarat's embroidery traditions are also recognised through the Kutch Embroidery GI, Application No. 103.
Today Jaipur workshops combine these ideas to make decor pieces for export: embroidered fabric squares, joined by hand and finished with borders, tassels and trims.

Why buyers like patchwork
Every piece is different: no two wall hangings or poufs are identical, which suits boutiques and online stores that sell one of a kind items.
Flat and light to ship: covers, runners and hangings pack flat, which keeps freight costs down.
Works across styles: boho, eclectic, global and festive interiors all use patchwork.
Quality checks before you order
Seam strength: pull gently at the joins between patches. Seams should be close and even.
Border and backing: check that borders are straight and the backing fabric is firmly attached.
Embellishments: mirrors, beads and sequins should be stitched securely.
Size tolerance: handmade pieces vary slightly. Agree a tolerance, for example plus or minus 1 inch on large items.
Colour story: patchwork mixes many fabrics. Approve a sample for each colourway, such as pink, orange, yellow, blue or multicolour.
Care guidance: embellished pieces are usually best dry cleaned or gently hand washed. Put this on your care label.
Samples and MOQ
You can start with a sample order of at least 10 pieces in total and mix designs across the collection. Bulk prices apply from 500 units. Because each piece is handmade, the photos show the style and colour story, and your delivered pieces will vary slightly in the exact arrangement of patches.
HS codes to discuss with your broker
Wall hangings are often classified under HS 6304 (other furnishing articles), table linen under HS 6302, and pouf or cushion covers under heading 6304 or 9404 depending on construction, per the WCO nomenclature. Ask your customs broker to confirm the code for each item.
