By Alex Gapper

What are you looking for? Shag pile rugs, a wool shag rug or something cheap to decorate your studio? Have you heard about the retro designs that are more popular than in the 70’s? Need round shag rugs for under a dinning table? Looking for styles and colors that you’ve seen in the newest home decorating magazines? Want to buy at wholesale prices or at a discount to resell? Can’t find a natural hypoallergenic cotton shag rug for your baby’s nursery? Thinking about not having shaggy shag but a felted shag rug instead?

Shag Rug Merchants to Satisfy all our Tastes

Believe me you’re not alone in these shaggy quests. There are about a billion other people looking for area rugs, bath rugs, traditional rugs, round rugs, braided rugs, wool rugs and every shape and color of shag rug for a million different uses in every country around the world. And lucky for you and me there are enough rug merchants to satisfy all our tastes.

Even if you don’t yet know that you want gabbeh rugs or chenille rugs because you’ve never heard the term, there’s someone who makes them and one of them could be exactly what you’re after. There are some top rug manufacturers and designers and rug merchants who have some of the best and most sought after area rugs from around the world, and they are merely a click away.


Where to Click for a Shag Rug

At the moment shag rugs of all shapes and sizes are the most popular area rugs of all, except perhaps for the zebra rug, and yet, there is a shag rug – zebra rug and even the best of all worlds which is a wool area rug in a shag rug pile dyed in zebra rug colors!

Really, you can even have a purple shag rug or a pink shag rug or a purple round shag rug if you just know where to click. So here’s where to click:


From Anji Mountian Bamboo Rugs to United Weavers of America

  • Let’s start with Anji Mountain Bamboo Rugs who also have some cool shag in all natural and hypoallergenic fibers good enough for delicate kids rugs.

  • Next, Balta Rugs who have a Super Shag rug made from heat set polypropylene.

  • There’s Capel Rugs and their Shagri La Ebony Shag Rug

  • Chandra Rugs I include just so know who you should NOT buy leather shag rugs from because they have been recalled due to fire hazard. Perhaps their newer lines have been improved, but don’t buy the older ones.

  • Continue onto Chilewich who have a striped shag rug for indoor-outdoor use that is supposed to be mold and mildew resistant and can be washed by hand because it’s made of tufted vinyl.

  • Classic Home Rugs also has leather shag rugs they call thin strand shaggy leather in a spaghetti cut that are suppose to keep their fluffy shape.

  • Couristan has many round shag rugs and square shag rugs and long and short area rugs to fit your space such as the super popular Luxus Chocolate Shag Rug which is a retro shag with a plush pile that comes in neutral colors like ivory, beige and chocolate, made of heat-set Courtron polypropylene and textured with yarn for softness. It’s made in Belgium, but ships worldwide with a click.

  • Or there’s Dalyn Rug Co. who have a friendly Granite Shag Rug that’s a fun and funky Super Shag with thick, extra long tufts.
