About Us

InRugCo Studio & Gift Shop - Downtown Mishawaka, Indiana - Across from Central Park
Indiana Rug Company (InRugCo) is a small family owned business that has been in business since 1985 in the Michiana area.

Our goal with our retail store, InRugCo Studio & Gift Shop, was to offer Mishawaka a shopping destination unlike any other.

At our core, we are a textile fabrication studio that creates handmade area rugs, aprons, pillows, & other home accents. Additionally, one will find handpicked gifts & curated products to bring inspiration to your home & lifestyle.

We carry Mishawaka, IN themed clothing & gifts, outdoor clothing & gear, lifestyle clothing for men & women, gourmet food, spices, jewelry, purses, furniture, artwork, & much more.

One will find brands such as:

Darn Tough Socks
Cotopaxi
Lodge Cast Iron
Spice House Spices
Joy Susan Purses
Plow & Hearth

Our product selection is constantly evolving, so you never quite know what you will discover with InRugCo! We add new products online & in-store daily.

If you are tired of the big box retail stores without personality and artistic flair, our studio offers a true shopping experience with genuine customer engagement and service. Free gift wrap is always available.

Our store has been described as the "hidden treasure of Northern Indiana," so come & discover what everyone is talking about.

Custom Area Rugs

For three decades, we have created handmade custom area rugs.

We work closely with our clients to bring their design, color, size, or texture preference to life. Our clients can be totally immersed in the custom area rug process or our in-house designers can bring an idea to life with minimal time commitment.

No matter how simple or complicated, we can help design a rug to fit any space, style, or functionality.

History of InRugCo

InRugCo was originally created so owners Pam & Rex could be with their children full time outside of school hours.

The children grew up as genuine "rugrats" within the business and continue to contribute to the company today. The second generation carries the same entrepreneurial and artistic spirit as their parents.

Indiana Rug Co. or InRugCo?

Indiana Rug Co. offers carpet binding services, while InRugCo Studio & Gift Shop is the name of our brick & mortar retail store.

We are the same company, but at different locations. Both family owned & operated.

Our Connection to Mishawaka, Indiana & Michiana

We are located directly across the street from the newly renovated Central Park. Much of our original artwork on our Mishawaka themed clothing & gifts are directly inspired by our urban parks along the beautiful St. Joesph River.

Our goal with our Mishawaka merchandise is to raise community pride & awareness of our fantastic locations for outdoor recreation.

All 3 generations of the InRugCo have recreated along the St. Joseph River for years. Some of our favorite locations for a jog or a bike ride include Mishawaka's Riverwalk or the East Race near Howard Park in South Bend.

Edible Michiana

InRugCo is happy to support Edible Michiana. Free copies of the quarterly magazine regarding local Michiana food culture, events, and recipes can be found within our store.

Media Coverage

We have been fortunate enough to be highlighted by local media. We greatly appreciate all the local media coverage we have received.
