Capel Rugs is debuting a sophisticated new wool rug collection featuring gorgeous colorations and lush textures as well as a dynamic new braided design at the Las Vegas Market taking place July 30 to August 3. Capel Rugs will show in Space A-133 of the World Market Center.
The new hand-knotted collection, Aria, makes a stylish transitional statement with its beautifully designed geometric yet organic, bohemian-influenced patterns. Hand woven in India, the collection features natural undyed wool that is hand-cardedw, with a lush, high-low profile.
Four colors are available, including black/white, ivory, natural and beige, in four sizes – 3’ x 5’, 5’ x 8’, 8’ x 10’ and 9’ x 12’. A 5’ by 8’ size may retail for $699.
“The tonal values and amazing textures of Aria’s high-low pile blend perfectly with the boho style. It’s a very attractive, eco-friendly rug design,” said Cameron Capel, president – sales and marketing for Capel Rugs.
In Las Vegas, Capel Rugs also is showing a new indoor/outdoor braided rug collection in coastal styling called Down East. Made in the U.S.A. of 100% texturized polypropylene, this design is constructed with two braid types to create a high-low pile and texture. The larger, outer braid features a scalloped edge, and the tone-on-tone color palette provides a soothing feel.
Down East comes in four colors – sand dollar, marsh grass, cape shoals and oyster rock. A 5'x8' oval may retail for $599.

"The colors are reminiscent of the coastal area around the North Carolina Outer Banks," Capel adds. “And the synthetic yarns provide strength and durability, making this a wonderfully textural reversible rug.”
Capel Rugs also is showing two new machine-made collections in Las Vegas — Captiva and Retreat — that are new to West Coast customers. Designed for indoor or outdoor use, both collections are woven on Wilton looms using weather-durable 100% olefin yarns. Two sizes are available in each collection – 5’3” x 7’6” and 7’10” x 10’10." The smaller size may retail at $199.
Captiva features four patterns and nine colorways: Ikat, in navy, red, ivory and brown; Tabriz, in navy and red; Tile, in blue; and Zuo, in ocean and multi. Styling includes traditional, transitional and coastal/modern motifs.
Retreat features two patterns and five colorways: Haven, in slate and umber; and Lodge, in denim, ivory and smoke. Styling includes lodge/southwest and transitional themes.
Retailers and designers shopping the Las Vegas Market also will see a variety of dynamic new transitional and traditional designs in the Capel Rugs showroom this spring. They include pattern and color additions to Zenith, a new collection introduced last fall that’s off to a strong start at retail. Lava, an existing pattern, is now available in an ocean colorway, and a new pattern – Fossil – is being introduced in a harbor colorway.
A timely collection with a plush high-low texture and a lively blending of natural colors, Zenith features raised patterning that adds flair as well as a feeling of movement and fluidity. The Zenith collection is machine-made in Turkey on Wilton looms using a blend of 90% polyester and 10% olefin yarns.

“These beautiful area rugs will impart a luminous feeling wherever they are placed,” said Capel.
Also being expanded with six colors this market is Verve, a hand-knotted collection of updated Oushak patterns from India made of 100% wool. The new colors include sherbet/multi, pewter/denim, dark gray/multi, spring multi, berry multi and orchard multi.
“The Verve collection lives up to its name,” Capel said. “These designs are distinguished by their vitality, energy and liveliness.”
