The focal point of the expansive Bashian showroom is a selection of hand-loomed viscose rugs in fashion colors from the Vestige collection.
The company is showcasing new for Vegas lines including its Vestige collection, which is hand loomed of viscose in pastel and neutral tones, the Cascade collection, which is a Tibetan weave in viscose, and the best-selling Greenwich collection.
