Review on Loloi II Hathaway Collection HTH-02 Denim/Multi Traditional Rug - 7'-6" X 9'-6 by Christine Fugleberg

This rug has a beautiful printed pattern and very fine, tiny woven texture. It’s thin, and absolutely smooth to the touch. Kind of plastic feeling, so if you want to lay on it and it will bother you to not feel a natural material, then reconsider. It’s not scratchy, it’s more like a spongey yoga mat with a rayon feel. My husband’s first reaction was to ask me to send it back and buy a real rug!The reason I bought it was honestly that I saw it on a designer’s Instagram (in the navy color). I knew all of ^^ things and wanted a rug that could withstand pets and kids, and that if our young family destroyed, I wouldn’t lose sleep over. This was around $300 for a 9x12! I was drooling over a real Oushak rug on another site that had similar patterns and colors, and cost several thousand. So.I’ve had printed rugs from Safavieh etc before and have to say, the subtlety of these colors is a far cry from the colors and prints I’ve had before. It’s beautiful! Navy, denim, and slate blues, faded sienna and copper, sage green, dark taupe, antique rose.The ONLY thing I will criticize about this rug is the color description and photographs used to advertise it. I was expecting a warm ivory base. It is much darker than that. In photos, the pinks really jump out. In real life, the overall impression is a light/medium blue rug with some dark tan/light sage in the middle, and pink and navy accents. Lovely, if that’s what you’re after. You really can pull so many different colors out of it. I think it’s super versatile. HOWEVER If you need a light rug, then I’m not sure this will work for you.
