Some products carry a place inside them. Madur Kathi — the traditional grass mat craft of West Bengal — is one of them, and it carries official proof: a Geographical Indication (GI) tag from the Government of India.
What is Madur Kathi?
Madur mats are handwoven from a soft reed grass grown in the Medinipur region of West Bengal. For generations, artisan families have woven these mats for sleeping, sitting and décor — a craft passed from mothers to daughters across centuries.
Why the GI tag matters to importers
- Certified authenticity — the GI tag legally ties the product to its region and traditional method, like Champagne or Darjeeling tea.
- A premium story — heritage certification supports premium retail positioning and gift-market pricing.
- Natural and sustainable — the grass is renewable, the process is handmade, and the product is fully biodegradable.
Product possibilities
Beyond traditional floor mats: table runners, placemats, wall décor, bags and contemporary accessories — heritage weave in modern formats that fit European and Middle-Eastern home-décor shelves beautifully.
