Capel Rugs will debut a large assortment of new rugs in the Capel Rugs showroom from April 2 to 6 at the April High Point Market in Market Square, Space 112. The new rugs represent a wide range of constructions, styles and price points and offerings include fresh braids, updated Oushak and Gabbeh patterns.
The biggest introduction that Capel has made in recent years, these new rugs are designed to give retailers the stylish, high-value products they need to refresh their floors and drive traffic and business back to stores.
"Retailers are hungry for dynamic new rug designs," said Cameron Capel, president of sales and marketing for Capel Rugs. "Because of the many supply chain challenges brought about by the pandemic, their shelves have become bare. But now that the threat of Covid is waning, they are ready to restock and ramp up their merchandising activity with creative new designs."
Capel Rugs is expecting a busy High Point Market based on the volume of showroom appointments being made in advance of the show and the extra level of effort it has put into this season's product development.
"During the height of the pandemic, a lot of products we had in the pipeline had to be put on hold," Capel said. "Now, we're finally able to move these plans forward. As a result, at this market we'll be showing a wonderfully eclectic mix of rugs, from high-value machine made rugs and elegant hand knots to stylish new braids, updated Oushak patterns and subtle abstracts. There truly will be 'something for everybody,' which is welcome news to retailers and designers looking to create excitement for their customers."
