Kaleen Rugs, the manufacturer of high-quality rugs and carpet, is celebrating its 25th year in business and will be introducing 15 new rug collections at the Las Vegas Winter Market this April.
"We are most excited about everything we are showing. This year, we have grown our Indoor/Outdoor selections and added many new styles with colorways that we haven't offered in the past,” said Monty Rathi, chief operations officer. “We challenged ourselves to think outside the box in terms of unique designs. We took design cues from some of our best-selling hand-tufted collections, which we incorporated into some of our machine-made offerings."
Although the Rathi family has been in the textiles business for over 50 years, this year marks 25 years of Kaleen Rugs, which started in Mumbai, India, and Dalton Ga., in 1996.
"We are celebrating with 25 days of rug giveaways throughout the year,” said Rathi. “Each month we will be giving away two rugs to fans that follow us on social media. Our top customers will also be receiving a special gift that we are working on sending out later this year, so stay tuned."
Brian Brigham, Kaleen's director of marketing and public relations, had this to say when asked what Kaleen’s guests could expect when visiting their showroom this market, "Due to COVID markets are a little harder to navigate; however, we still want our customers to sit back, relax and enjoy our space. We are acknowledging all COVID Safe Serve protocalls and are offering food and refreshments to our customers."
"We take safety seriously in our offices and our showrooms,” added Brigham. “We are putting in a touchless hand sanitizer station. We will be sanitizing our surfaces throughout the day so customers can relate when shopping our gorgeous rugs. Customers also don't need to stress if they misplace or lose their masks as we will have some in our showroom as well.”
The Kaleen showroom will also feature top sellers from their current rug collections and fan favorites on social media. The Kaleen Las Vegas showroom is located at the World Market Center, Building C, showroom #407. Kaleen Rugs will be open daily from 8 a.m. and 7 p.m.
