“We’re escalating our assortment this season with more handwoven products to widen our product breadth extensively,” said Brianne Coradini, marketing associate. “while staying focused on bringing unique and trendy machine-wovens to market.”

Four of the 14 new collections to be featured at the upcoming High Point Market include Morris, Perry, Portland and Provo.

Morris – A collection of seven different handwoven jute and polyester printed chindis. Bohemian flair combined with a multi-textured feel of vintage prints adds a rustic element and depth to floors.

Perry – Perry presents textured geometric patterns with hi-lo effects and tassels, handwoven in India and available in five unique patterns.

Portland – Machine woven rugs with a fringe to create an antique appeal out of polyester printed patterns. The rugs are available in seven different patterns and colors and have washed vintage elements.

Provo – Expanding the company’s indoor/outdoor offerings, the Provo collection are textured machine-woven rugs made of UV-treated polypropylene that are easy to care for year-round. The rugs combine trendy pops of color in a thin, textured pile.

Kas is adding six new patterns to its Libby Langdon Hamptons outdoor rugs collection this market, designed by Libby Langdon herself. The outdoor rugs are hand-hooked of UV-treated polypropelene in a coastal color palette and created for a relaxed outdoor setting or a refreshing indoors.

The showroom will open one day early on Friday, Oct. 12 in IHFC, G-270 and is offering free freight, pillow and pouf discounts and other promotions. In addition to wine and cheese daily from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m., Kas will host two events this market.
