GoodWeave 2010 Rug Raffle

The 2010 raffle is here! Help us ensure that childhood is not a luxury item for children like Maili, a child weaver rescued by GoodWeave inspectors. Maili is shown here in class at Nepal’s prestigious Little Angels School, an opportunity made possible by GoodWeave’s academic sponsorship program.



Each raffle ticket you purchase supports GoodWeave’s campaign to end child labor in the handmade rug industry and sponsor schooling for children like Maili in South Asia—and gives you a chance to win this exquisite carpet, certified child-labor-free by GoodWeave.

Japanese Floral in Saffron, measuring 8’ x 10’ and retailing at $9,000, has been donated by Florence Broadhurst Handmade Rugs, a collection by Cadrys that translates the Australian designer’s iconic wallpaper designs into rug art. Hand woven in Nepal from Tibetan wool, silk, and natural fibers, Japanese Floral links elegant Japanese influence with artistic poise. Luxe Interiors + Design says the collection “offers an exotic grace reminiscent of the Australian design doyenne’s flair and sophisticated flamboyancy.”

Raffle tickets are $25 USD ($30 AUD) each, 5 for $100 USD ($120 AUD), 12 for $200 USD ($240 AUD), and 30 for $500 ($600 AUD). Tickets are available through September 30, 2010. The drawing will be held by GoodWeave USA October 5, 2010, and you need not be present to win.
