California Stripes

• This could be a stylish solution for my kitchen, too! Like sisal, woven rugs – especially stripes – will never look dated and are easy to maintain. It feels a little Philadelphia, a little southern, and very friendly, which is what a kitchen should be.

• Thanks Preston. I’ve been in the market for a striped rug for the kitchen. Just checked out the website and appears to be for designers only and 12 weeks lead time? Any information on websites where the California Stripes collection is available for purchase now would be great! Many thanks!

• These rugs look great! Do you know if they are wool or cotton? I am looking for dhurrie rugs for my beach house, but I think cotton won’t be durable enough-is it true wool dhurries last longer?

• Reading your comment Paula re the flavour of the rug being a little Philadelphia I am curious to understand that more fully….off to find something to educate myself on such matters Southern!
  I agree the rugs give ithe kitchen a lovely homely feel

• It’s wool, I will ask where they can be purchased, and if it gets dirty, I will consider that it’s well-loved ‘patina’.

• Wool rugs are the easiest to clean, and the whole collection is gorgeous. Would be amazing as stair runners too.

• Ruth, my mum is a Pennsylvanian, and we visited often during my childhood, making the rounds at the homes of my grandparents’ friends. I remember seeing cotton woven rugs, which we called ‘rag rugs’ in kitchens, back halls, porches. Early American homes featured rag rugs, too, and some are as collectible as fine American quilts. So this feels familiar to me. As for ‘southern,’ I view all cheerful, warm, friendly spaces with homey charm as having something in common with the South. Strictly an unscientific prejudice on my part – but it turns out to be pretty accurate. Southerns tend to create inviting family homes, and I swear their weddings are the best. And their food. And their manners.

• Your kitchen looks adorable Preston, we’re happy to see how naturally the rug looks in the space.

  Paula and Ruth, we couldn’t agree more! The collection is definitely as timeless as it is durable. While Merida does sell direct to trade we are proud to see the reaction to this collection from everyone.
