I was so impressed with this rug. I was nervous to pay so much for something I didn’t see in person first but I’m so glad I did. I bough the cream color. It’s a beautiful soft ivory, and the texture is subtle. The striping is made with alternating loop pile and tufted, it reminds me of pinstripes. It’s gorgeous in our master bedroom and feels so good underfoot, so soft and the pile isn’t too thick.
