Beware of Nisa – A Cautionary Tale from 11 Rugs Gallery

My name is Ryan, and I’m writing this personally on behalf of 11 Rugs Gallery to warn others about my deeply frustrating and dishonest experience with a woman named Nisa.

Back in August 2024, Nisa visited our showroom in Deco Park, supposedly to rent rugs for the Decorex exhibition. I trusted her – she seemed passionate and visionary – so I gave her a 300x200 rug free of charge, under the clear agreement that it would be returned after the event.

Now it's July 2025, and not only have I not received the rug back, but for nearly a year she dodged every call, message, and attempt to contact her. Just last month, by some miracle, she responded and agreed to pay R5,722 – which is far below the actual value of the rug – and I still agreed, just to put this behind me. But true to her character, she has once again gone silent.

This woman has acted like a complete ****, and I genuinely wish I could share the screenshots and proof of this year-long ordeal. It’s not just about money – it’s the betrayal, the dishonesty, and the waste of time and energy.

I’m sharing this to protect others from going through the same pain. Please be careful. Don’t let her fool you like she did us.

Thanks 🙏🏻
