This is not your grandmother's shag rug. A rich, unique purple-gray color and a thick, exquisitely soft natural fiber pile make this rug light years away from the shag rugs of yesteryear. This stunning accent piece combines a cool, retro, edgy look with high-end luxury and impeccable craftsmanship. Yet with all this, it's machine-washable, which is ultra-convenient for any home textile. As if that weren't enough, it is eco-friendly, too. This rug is completely hand-woven and hand-sewn with all-natural 100 percent New Zealand wool.
All of that being 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 Slate 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.
