Capel to Highlight Traditional With a Twist At Vegas Summer Market

Retailers and designers in the West will get their first chance to view recently revealed designs from the spring when Capel Rugs opens its showroom doors for the Las Vegas Market being held July 24 to 28 in the World Market Center’s Building A, Space A-133. The eclectic mix being introduced by Capel Rugs includes high-value machine-made designs, elegant hand knots, stylish new braids and updated Oushak and Gabbeh patterns. Most of the introductions lean traditional in their styling, but all of them have a fresh twist. Leading off the introductions for Capel in Las Vegas is Verve, a new hand-knotted collection from India made of 100% wool. The initial introduction features two colors — silver multi and ecru multi — with more colors likely to follow at future markets. Six sizes are available, including 2’6″ x 9′, 3′ x 5′, 5′ x 8′, 9′ x 12′ and 10′ x 14′, and a 5′ x 8′ model may retail for under $1,299. “The Verve collection of updated Oushak patterns lives up to its name,” said Cameron Capel, president of sales and marketing for Capel Rugs. “These fresh, unexpected designs are distinguished by their vitality and liveliness.” Carrara, a new hand knotted collection inspired by Renaissance art, is another new design that is expected to draw attention this market. Made in India with a luxurious wool and viscose blend, Carrara features a beautifully distressed finish and earthy colors inspired by mineral pigments. Options include four colorways — multi, beige blue, aqua and charcoal multi — and four sizes. “Carrara features a vintage erased pattern enlivened with color,” Capel says. Also making its Las Vegas debut is Avery, a new machine-made collection in 100% New Zealand wool featuring five patterns with a high level of detail and a vintage, laid back vibe. The range of earthy, subtle colorways includes stormy gray, stone multi, onyx/cream, slate/linen and merlot. Inspired by the success of Capel’s best-selling Metropolis collection, Avery is available in 3’11” x 5’6″, 5’3″ x 7’6″, 6’7″ x 9’10”, 7’10” x 11′ and 9’2″ x 12’5″ sizes. A 5’3″ x 7’6″ model may retail for under $699. The collection is made in Moldova on Wilton looms.

The new rugs represent a wide range of constructions, styles and price points and offerings include fresh braids, updated Oushak and Gabbeh patterns and much more. 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.” Leading off the product parade will be Verve, a new hand-knotted collection from India made of 100% wool. The initial introduction will feature two colors – silver multi and ecru multi – with more colors likely to follow at future markets.
