In the 1950s, Cornelis Nouwens arrived in South Africa, bringing with him generations of fine carpet-crafting expertise from the wool textile hub of Tilburg, Holland.

Inspired by his father’s teachings, Cornelis established a humble mill in Harrismith in 1962, using a converted blanket loom to start what would become an enduring legacy.

Since then, Nouwens has not only perfected crafting their carpets, but their team as well- becoming one of the more recongised and respected names in the world of décor.

Still family-run and led by Luci Nouwens, who brings 40 years of hands-on experience, Nouwens Carpets continues to uphold its commitment to quality and innovation, crafting carpets with a unique character and superior standards that reflect our rich heritage.

With over 50 years of heritage in South Africa, Nouwens Carpets is dedicated to creating innovative, functional, and beautifully crafted carpets that enhance any space.

While we draw inspiration from international carpet styles, we are proudly a local brand, committed to weaving quality and lasting value into every piece.

Our carpets are more than just flooring—they are the perfect backdrop to bring warmth and style to your décor.
