What makes
the Karastan rugs so unique and popular all over the world?
They are among
the best machine made rugs and to an extent managed to break the
domination and liking for the hand made rugs.
In a small
town of Carolina called Leakesville in the year 1928 the rugs
started to be manufactured from the Axminster loom. Other than an
expert no one could easily tell the difference between a man made rug
and a Karastan. The rug was also famously dubbed as the Mystery rug
due to this.
The Karastan
rugs have stood the test of time due to the innovative techniques and
new designs which were introduced periodically.
Some of the
most beautiful innovations were the Sisal wool, Tea Wash
and Shapura.
The Karastan
Samovar Collection which is an example of Tea wash gives an antique
and vintage look to the rug. New designs, shapes and colors have made
the rug a very popular interior design accessory to own and display.
Most of the rugs are made from premium worsted wool and man made
fibers and are very easy to maintain with proper care and expert
guidance.
The most
common reasons a rug gets damaged is due to sunlight which causes
fading, spillage of liquids which leads to stains and keeping the rug
at the same position for months and years together which causes an
uneven wear and tear. Rotating your rug periodically will you get rid
of this problem and prolong the life time of the rug.
They are made
using just one interlocked material and this ensures the durability of
the rug. The manufacturers are so confident of the long life of the
rug that they are willing to give twenty year warranties. The most
popular line of Karastan rugs are Ashara rugs, Karastan Sierra Mar and
Karastan Shapura. All these popular line of rugs have one thing in
common and that is they add to the décor of your room.
