Rug Industry

The U.S. rug industry runs on relationships, regional expertise, and accumulated craft. A retailer in Atlanta needs to know what a Heriz from 1920 should sell for. A designer in Chicago needs to understand the difference between hand-knotted and hand-tufted before specifying a piece. A manufacturer in High Point needs to know what’s moving in the showrooms 500 miles away.

But the trade lacks a dedicated, modern publication built for the way the industry actually works now – with AI-driven search, shifting consumer behavior, sanctions reshaping the supply chain, and a generation of master weavers retiring without successors.
RugIndustry exists to fill that gap. Not as a hobbyist blog. Not as a coffee-table magazine. As a working trade publication – practical, accurate, and built by people inside the trade.
