Style #0303-81 from 828’s Mystique Collection

Style #11-0274 from 828’s Calandrea Collection

GREENVILLE, SC, October 20, 2005—Two fabulous collections from 828 International—Mystique and Calandrea—expose the diversity of the company’s design capabilities while expanding the breadth of its offering.

Mystique Collection

The contemporary patterning of Mystique is softened by colors that give it a casual flavor. Ivory, gold, green and various shades of orange and red are just some of the 25 shades featured in each cross-woven area rug. The heat-set polypropylene rugs are enhanced with drop-stitch accents that give them a defined, hand-carved look. 828’s Mystique Collection is available in a full range of sizes, including 10' x 13', and has a suggested retail of $299 for a 5' x 8'.

Calandrea Collection

Classic elegance never goes out of style, especially when it comes to collections like 828’s Calandrea. This series of 100% space-dyed wool rugs are cross-woven to replicate the beauty of old-world Peshawar. Each rug features twenty-four shades of color on fields of navy, ivory and red. 828 offers the collection in every size a home could need, including continuous runners, in 26 and 31-inch widths, as well as oversize. Suggested retail is $599 for a 5' x 8'.

Mystique and Calandrea, along with 828 International’s entire line of hand-knotted, hand-tufted, hand-hooked and power-loomed rugs, will be on display at the International Home Furnishings Market in the company’s permanent showroom—123 Market Square.
