This is only for New Yorkers. The ABC Carpet in DUMBO Brookly is having a huge rug sale until tomorrow. 75% or more off regular prices. I bought a 6" by 9" rug that normally sells for $1800 for $500. I've been there on non-sale days and the stuff really sells for that much.

Their inventory is from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tibet, Nepal, New Zealand and some other asian countries. Most is hand made with vegetable dyes. These are not your usuall rugs you find in Home Depot or Target. They are some of the best quality rugs in the world. The closest thing I've seen to these is a rug in Restoration Hardware for $1200.
 
last year i was in another rug place 2 blocks away and the guy sells rugs that he imports from afghanistan. the lady that worked there said they go through pakistan to karachi and then on the boat to NYC. average price was around $1800.

the advantage of the vegetable dye compared to the chemical dyed rugs is that they last for decades. the stuff you buy in the big retailers will fade pretty fast.
