A trade account, on terms designers actually use.
The Raihan Rugs trade program is built for the way studios actually work — net-30 billing, pieces sent out on approval, sample swatches in 48 hours, and a single point of contact who knows the inventory by hand. No volume minimums. No annual commitments. The application takes about four minutes.
What the program includes
The discount.
20% off the listed price on every piece, every order. 25% on pieces over $10,000. 30% on pieces over $25,000.
The terms.
Net-30 billing after the first three completed orders. Until then, invoices are due on delivery. Personal credit cards are not run for trade invoices.
On-approval delivery.
Up to three rugs sent out on a 14-day approval window, anywhere in the continental United States. Insured U.S. delivery, from $45 and complimentary on rugs $3,500 and up. If a piece doesn’t work in the room, we arrange the return pickup at no cost. No restocking fee.
Sample swatches.
Wool, silk, and color sample squares — drawn from the actual lot the piece was made in — shipped in 48 hours. Free for trade. Required reading before any purchase over $20,000.
Concierge sourcing.
A specific size, a specific palette, a specific weaver’s region — emailed to the trade desk by name. Most requests are matched from existing inventory within a week. The rest are woven to order in our weaving workshop in Afghanistan; we confirm the timeline in writing before you commit, since it depends on size and construction.
Memo billing for client presentation.
We can hold a piece for up to 21 days under a signed memo while you present to your client. No deposit required for trade members in good standing.
Who the program is for
Interior designers and design studios. Architects who specify finishes. Stylists working on editorial, commercial, or staging. Property staging companies for residential listings over $5M. Set decorators (film, television, photography). A small number of multi-line retail buyers, on a case-by-case basis.
Independent practitioners are welcome. The program is not gated by firm size. It is gated by the seriousness of the work — which we verify in the application below.
What the application asks for
We review every application personally. Approvals usually come within two business days. Rejections are rare and we say why.
The application asks for your business name, role, and website (or portfolio link); a resale certificate if you’re a registered design business in a state that issues them (W-9 otherwise); three to five recent project images (mood boards are fine, construction photos are fine — we’re confirming you do the work, not judging it); and a short note on the kinds of projects you’re currently sourcing for.
That’s the whole application. There is no annual fee, no membership tier, no required volume.
How the trade desk works
A single point of contact handles every trade request and replies inside one business day during the week, and by Monday morning if you email over the weekend. Email Raihanrugs@gmail.com or call or text +1 857 313 9458.
If you prefer to work by appointment, our atelier is in Greater Boston. Saturdays are reserved for the trade. We can hold a private viewing of curated pieces, walk through provenance documentation in person, and discuss commissions over coffee. Bring a client if it helps.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an annual minimum?
No. We have trade members who order once a year and trade members who order weekly. Both are welcome.
Can I get pricing without joining?
The site shows retail pricing. Trade pricing is visible to logged-in trade accounts only. We don’t quote trade pricing without an account because we want a clean record on both sides.
Is any piece excluded from the trade discount?
No. The standard tiered discount applies. We don’t carve out any piece from the trade discount — every piece in the catalog is available at trade terms.
Can a client buy directly from you at trade pricing if I introduce them?
No. Trade pricing is for trade accounts billing through the trade program. We will, of course, refer end clients back to you if they reach out directly with your name attached.
Do you do commissions?
Yes. Custom palette, custom size, custom motif — typically 6–14 weeks, with deposits structured around the production milestones. Email the trade desk to start a commission brief.
Do you ship internationally?
Not at the moment. Currently shipping within the United States.
How are invoices structured for on-approval orders?
We invoice at the moment a piece ships. If you return a piece within the 14-day approval window, the invoice is cancelled. If you keep it, the invoice is due net-30 from delivery.
What is the discount on commissions?
Standard tiered discount applies to the final invoice. Deposits during production are billed at the discounted price.
What you get in your first 30 days
Once approved, your account is activated within one business day and a welcome email arrives with your trade discount automatically applied at checkout when logged in; a direct line to the trade desk; access to the protected trade lookbook page, which holds the in-stock pieces not yet published to the main site; first look at every new lot (trade members see new arrivals 7 days before they list publicly); and an invitation to the quarterly trade preview in Boston (or by virtual walkthrough).
