Jaipur Rugs Signs Licensing Agreement with Grant Design Collaborative
16 July 2007 - Grant Design Collaborative is pleased to announce an exciting new licensing agreement with Jaipur Rugs, an international provider of hand-woven rugs from India. With its products sold through major retailers across the country, Jaipur is expanding its wide spectrum of offerings by teaming with Grant to design an extensive series of forward-thinking new collections. Grant Design Collaborative’s initial designs for Jaipur will debut at the Atlanta Rug Market in January 2008.
