Summer Market - vol 3
Well I’ve made it to the end of the Summer Rug Market, I’m exhausted, but I hope you’ll enjoy the fruits of my labor. (Lord I sound like I just climbed Mt. Everest or something – ha-ha) I’ve got a couple more vendors to give you a glimpse of then it’s finally onto a new subject.
Let’s get things started with Surya. You’ve made this one of our most popular lines. Great designs, great colors and great prices – an all around great line. But with greatness comes the challenge of keeping it moving forward. Dang! But it they didn’t do it at this market. Fifteen brand new designs, anything from the bold patterns and colors of their new Alfresco Collection of indoor / outdoor rugs, to the new interpretations of classic oriental rug motifs (but with a twist and a decidedly new color palette) of the Sonoma Collection. I can’t wait for inventory to arrive so we can bring these wicked good rugs to you. One other thing I saw at Surya that excites me is a line of printed washable accent rugs. This is one area we haven’t delved into yet, and it looks promising. Stay tuned; more great things are coming from Surya.
Now, for a classic, Capel. This company has been in the rug business since 1917 (those of you quick with your math skills then realize this is their 90th anniversary year) Capel started with braided rugs and they haven’t stopped. This season they are introducing three new collections of braids. But they most obviously didn’t stop with braids; Capel has one of the most diverse rug lines out there. Two of the newest are the Heirlooms collection and Fresh Air. Heirlooms is part of the “Biltmore for Your Home” licensed collection. These rugs get their inspiration from the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC, and amazing place if you haven’t seen it! On a completely different note is the Fresh Air collection of indoor / outdoor rugs from Capel’s Anywhere collection. Capel, like so many others this season, is finally listening to us retailers and getting us interesting indoor / outdoor rugs. This line will have lodge, traditional and transitional patterns.
Well, that’s about it from the Summer Market. I’m back to the Rugs to My Door office and my own bed (I’m sure my dog’s will be glad to see me too) I’ve seen some amazing and beautiful area rugs this week, and can’t wait to share them with you. I’ll be sure to let you know when we’ve begun adding them to our site.
Until again,
Your rug fanatic,
Paul Johnson
