Once you put your toes into the decadent softness of the Hellenic Rugs Olive Flokati Rug, your idea of what a shag rug can be will be forever changed. Its unique, fun olive color and throwback style may suggest shag rugs of the past, but this rug's thick, natural fiber pile, warm, soft, cozy feel and cool, edgy, elegant look is worlds away from your grandmother's synthetic rec-room rug. Besides its high-end luxurious qualities, it's machine-washable, which means it's worry-free and easy to care for. As if these weren't reasons enough to love this rug, it is hand-woven and hand-sewn from natural New Zealand wool, making it earth-friendly. This fact adds a whole new dimension of class to this one-of-a-kind piece.
That having been said, the most incredible feature of this rug may really be its deep historical roots. It is actually crafted in Greece in a traditional hand-woven, hand-sewn style that dates back two thousand years, by a family with 400 years of Flokati-making experience. This makes the Hellenic Olive Flokati more than an art piece, and more than a home accent. It is actually a testament to how excellence, quality, and tradition can combine to make something beautiful that stands the test of time.

About Flokati rugs
Invented by the Vlachs in a small Pindos mountain village in 5th-century Greece, Flokati rugs were first used to keep shepherds and villagers warm. Village women would craft the rugs in a way that has changed little over time. Flokati rugs are first hand-woven and then hand-stitched. Following this process, they are placed in friction baths created from waterfalls in the Pindos mountains, where the intense water pressure unravels the pile and fluffs them out. The rugs are then carefully hung out to dry and inspected to ensure quality.
Today, Flokati rugs are recognized for their unparalleled quality and unique and deeply rooted artistry. The Mazarakis family has been crafting these rugs for over 400 years, and, through Hellenic Rug Imports, Inc., they make their superior knowledge and superb craftsmanship available to the American consumer.
