Area rugs from Karastan do not have the lowest prices amongst rugs, but once in a while comes along a Karastan sale that enables a lot of under-budgeted customers to be able to afford one of these exquisite creations of the art of rug making. A sale promotion from Karastan is always a much-awaited affair, and customers who cannot otherwise afford to buy a Karastan, but must have one, eagerly wait for one for years, if necessary. Thanks to Karastan National Month, deep discount on Karastan rugs happens twice a year. Not only those with low budgets, but even the less budget conscious rug-buyer looks forward to these sales.
Karastan rugs have been with us for over decades now, and they are perhaps the only US-manufactured rugs that have created a brand for themselves just like, say, Persian rugs have over the centuries. Karastan rugs may be machine-made from 100% wool, but their quality and sophistication makes many people take them to be of "heirloom quality." If you have a Karastan rug in the family, you are sure to see it handed down from generation to generation as a prized heirloom. Karastan rugs can seem pretty expensive to some, but considering that they are made in the US under very exacting standards, environmentally friendly, child labor free and come with lifetime or twenty year warranty, and are seemingly everlasting, the prices don't seem to be too high at all. Buying a rug which will not last 10 years at half the price is probably not as good an investment as buying a carrying that can last many decades but perhaps cost a bit more.
The durability of a Karastan was demonstrated dramatically in the Chicago World Fair of 1933 when the manufacturers let five million people walk on a single Karastan rug made in 1928. This rug still exists in their museum, doesn't seem to have suffered from the millions of stampeding feet at all, and still looks like it just came out of their looms. This durability, among other things, raises the value of a Karastan rug while lowering the overall price of the rug. If you pay a little more for something that is much more durable that a cheaper option, surely that is money well spent!
There was a sale recently of the total line of Karastan rugs. This was a limited sale, and people seemed to have been waiting for this for years. This was the time to buy a Karastan, otherwise perhaps unaffordable to many, at an unbelievably low price. And this wasn't some cheapskate sale where you didn't get half the products at all, and those you got were moth-eaten and coffee-stained; in this sale you could get every Karastan rug that had ever been made, from the latest and newest to the oldest and most venerable Karastan, all at the same deep discounts. One could cheaply buy such designs as the "Original Karastan 700," the ever-popular "English Manor" collection, and the newer "Shapura" and "Sierra Mar" collections at this promotional sale. Besides these, also on offer were the sensational "Artworks" and "Artisan" line-ups of Karastan rugs at unbelievably low prices.
Sales like these of such branded products do not happen often. Thousands of people can take the opportunity to buy a good thing at a good price at these sales. People flocked to the sale event and bought hundreds of these exquisite rugs. All the "old golds" that have made Karastan a respected brand in the world were up for sale, as well as the strong new generation of luster washed rugs produced at Karastan. The scene was a vista of wonderful colors and deep textures, and the enduring fragrance of antique area rugs was in the air. All in all, a Karastan sale was a much-awaited event of the year for rug lovers.
Well, guess what? The National Karastan Month is here again! Now you can take advantage of this opportunity and become a Karastan Rug owner yourself if you are not one already! And if you are, you know all the right reasons why you should have perhaps two or three.
So don't miss this limited Karastan Sale and save big while you can!
