Atlanta Rug Show exhibitors introduce new looks.
Atlanta - During the second day of the semi-annual Atlanta Rug Show, it became clear that while price is still an issue, color is king. Today's news:
- Calhoun, Ga.-based Jaipur Rugs debuted its new Raymond Waites collection for the first time here, following its original launch at High Point market in April. Sectioned into three groups, the designer licensed collection comes in three constructions and style stories. At the top of the echelon is the collection's Uptown grouping, which comprises hand-knotted high-end constructions featuring updated traditional looks in unexpectedly welcome color palettes and combinations; Midtown, which at the mid range spans tufted varieties; and Downtown, a grouping of Tibetan weave contemporarily-styled rugs targeting a younger customer.
- Momeni Inc., said it is giving shoppers a chance to walk away from "boring browns" and tired transitional looks that have long been prevalent in the marketplace with its new and affordable collection of traditional-inspired rugs, Vintage.
The company drew inspiration from Old World prayer rugs and the one-of-a-kind patchwork styles made by stitching together pieces of old rugs and came up with its own version that can retail for $599 versus the $10,000 originals.
Marlys Giordano, director of marketing and product development, explained to HTT that she has been developing Vintage for the past nine months.
"For so long, people have been buying neutrals and transitionals because they are safe in this kind of economy and they can sell for $299," she said. "But now people are getting bored of all the browns and tans. People want to come home and be happy, and I think these rugs help do that."
But because shoppers continue to be price conscious, Giordano needed to come up with a viable ticket.
Her first try at Vintage resulted in $799 rugs. "The economy is still not ready for that," she said. "So we redeveloped it and came up with a $599."
Rug Suppliers Look to Retailers to Spruce up Assortments
ATLANTA - The summer always promises sunshine, warmth, and some rest and relaxation, and area rug companies are hoping this year it will also generate new business.
While the July version of the biannual Atlanta International Area Rug Market is typically slower in retailer attendance compared to the January show, exhibiting area rug manufacturers and importers are cautiously hopeful that trend will shift.
- Calhoun, Ga.-based Jaipur Rugs debuted its new Raymond Waites collection for the first time here, following its original launch at High Point market in April. Sectioned into three groups, the designer licensed collection comes in three constructions and style stories. At the top of the echelon is the collection's Uptown grouping, which comprises hand-knotted high-end constructions featuring updated traditional looks in unexpectedly welcome color palettes and combinations; Midtown, which at the mid range spans tufted varieties; and Downtown, a grouping of Tibetan weave contemporarily-styled rugs targeting a younger customer.
They argue that while the still-sluggish economy, housing market and unemployment continue to affect business, these conditions potentially pose an opportunity for retailers to expand their soft flooring assortments and stir sales.
"Although it's usually a slower market for us in terms of traffic, the Atlanta July market looks to be very productive this year with several key customer meetings scheduled throughout the week," said Jason Moody, creative director of Jaipur Rugs. "It's also an important opportunity for us to reconnect with our national sales team, providing training on new sales programs and product introductions."
"For so long, people have been buying neutrals and transitionals because they are safe in this kind of economy and they can sell for $299," she said. "But now people are getting bored of all the browns and tans. People want to come home and be happy, and I think these rugs help do that."
Conscious that price "continues to play a large role with several of our buyers," Moody added, Jaipur "continues to respond to this trend with several new, fashion-forward collection introductions offered at popular price points."
These include synthetic indoor/outdoor varieties that speak to two trends: shoppers' orientation toward value-priced goods and at-home entertainment as an economical alternative to dining out.
"The outdoor/indoor category is so important right now, and for it we are showing pillows, rugs and mats - products with very wide appeal," noted designer Liora Manne, who is launching several new collections with longtime partner Trans-Ocean.
"We are excited," she went on. "We are expecting lots of walk-in traffic and new customers. Price is important, however, our product is fashion, and retailers are coming to us for the bright colors and the uplifting designs."
