FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Denver, CO (March 15, 2003) -- Himalayan Carpets announced today that it is now accepting orders directly from decorators and interior designers for custom woven Tibetan carpets. The carpets are produced in Nepal by refugees from Tibet.

Himalayan Carpets will weave carpets of any design and any size. "We can provide our customers with a one-of-a-kind carpet for a small vestibule or a grand ballroom," said Melissa Koren, President of Himalayan Carpets. "And we deliver carpets for a fraction of the cost designers and their clients would pay at traditional outlets, including retail stores and design centers. Because we provide carpets directly to professional interior decorators the savings are substantial."

Tibetan carpets are noted for their thick pile, rich and vibrant colors, and durability.

Ms. Koren also said, "The families we work with in Nepal escaped Tibet more than 20 years ago and have established themselves as one of the leading producers of high-quality carpets in the country. Their carpets are in some of the finest homes in the United States and Europe."

Carpet weaving is the major source of income for Tibetan refugees in Nepal.
