04142015 Capel to Launch Seven New Collections in High Point

TROY, NC - Capel Rugs will spotlight seven new rug collections at High Point Market April 18 to 23, expanding its assortment across a variety of popular styles, price points and constructions with fashion-forward designs. The Capel Rugs showroom is located at Market Square, Space 112. 

Introductions range from luxurious, vintage hand-knotted patterns and soft, double-washed Persians to durable, nature-inspired models designed for outdoor use. The company's latest additions also will build on the success of its new Color Burst and Texture Riot theme - a new style direction that drew an enthusiastic response from retailers during fall and winter markets. 

"Texture and color play an important role in all our latest designs," said Cameron Capel, vice president of national accounts for Capel Rugs. "We're continuing to showcase three-dimensional piles and patterns and colorations with an eye-catching, energetic edge that is unique to the market." 

Capel offers more rugs in more categories than any other rug company - from original braids and fine hand-knotted rugs to innovative indoor-outdoor and youth-friendly collections. This comprehensive assortment includes designs rooted in American traditions and classic themes as well as globally inspired, heirloom-quality patterns. 

"Our product development team is constantly searching for fresh ways to appeal to a well-informed, sophisticated consumer seeking both fashion and value," added Cameron Capel. "The range of creative colors, patterns and designs we offer demonstrates our commitment to bring the best of the United States - and the world - to our customers."

This market, Capel's introductions bring fashion outdoors with three new all-weather collections. The Finesse Cyprus and Finesse Dragonfly collections both take inspiration from nature, Cypress featuring an overlapping tree leaf design, and Finesse Dragonfly evoking the new trend to insects in rugs and textiles. Machine made of olefin in Belgium, these collection each come in three colorways. 5'3" x 7'6" retails for $149.

Capel's Soho collection takes playful and bright multicolored patterns to the outdoors in four designs - Balcony in sea and sand, Bongos in sea, fire and sand, Gypsy in multi and Roundabout in multi. The machine-woven rugs are made in America of 100% olefin. 5'2" x 7'6" size may retail for $249.

In its new indoor rug lineup, Capel introduces Park Lane, a collection of vintage hand knots, made in India of blended New Zealand and Argentine wool. A sophisticated take on age-old Ushak motifs with a soft time-worn look, Park Lane is available in seven colorways, including the new vintage black, and five sizes.  5'6" x 8'6" rug may retail for $1,699.

Parterre, a companion to the top-selling Williamburg fabric, is inspired by the parterre gardens featured at the Governor's Palace and other gardens in Colonial Williamsburg. The collection is hand loomed using 100% wool with a combination pile of loop and cut pile for high/low detailing. Parterre is available in camel, lichen grey and sea. Sizes include. A 5' x 8' rug may retail for $649.
