Our Story

Spreading Tuft-Love,

One Rug at a Time.

RugMeBuddy Malaysia began in January 2021, 

in the midst of a national lockdown due to the current global pandemic.

 

Intrigued by the oddly satisfying videos circulating through the web, @takeiteasybuddy did an intensive research on hand-tufting guns, and immediately purchased his first cut-pile machine.

It was not long till it became his favourite pastime with beloved wife, @win.manmohan,

making rugs at the comfort of their own home in Ara Damansara, Selangor.

​

Since then, RugMeBuddy Malaysia has grown from a home-based side-hustle into a full-fledged running business. Our mission is to educate the public about this ancient-turned-modern craft

and to provide high-quality tufted rugs, tools & materials.

 

As our team grows, we are committed to create a community of creatives from different backgrounds, to share and improvise on tricks and techniques for all things rug making.

Raised in Borneo Island, he has been dipping his toes in various creative and innovative ventures, finding ways to make ends meet. Knowing no boundaries, he has always pushed himself further to gain and polish a new skill - from photography, skateboarding to construction. Surrounded by creatives, art has been apart of him day in, day out. It has been a long wait before being able to make a living from practising a form of art. Meet @takeiteasybuddy. He now paints with yarn using his hand-tufting gun.

“Graduating from an art school was one of my greatest blessings. Who knew basic colour knowledge would come in handy. When @takeiteasybuddy decided to take his tuft-love to another level, it was without a doubt an opportunity not to be missed. A craft that requires more than a pair of hands, I initiated to jump on board. As I still paint on paper, @rugmebuddy is able to turn it into a rug.”

A Tufting Operator needs to know all about the process from stretching the Monk’s Cloth in order to get a consistent pressure whilst managing the gun, — to being able to rethread broken yarns. Tufting requires intricate workmanship. Just like @al_liippz himself, tufting has to have quality.

Rug repairs and alteration process is mandatory, and it is not necessary for you to have the proper tool for it. Sometimes you just got to use the resources around you. We left the task for repairs and alterations to @tareq3001 — a man that has an eye for detail, and who works meticulously to perfection.
