(Hicksville, NY – January 2026) Kalaty Rug Corporation brings an impressive display of new area rugs in all weaves, textures, constructions, décor genres and colors to the company’s Las Vegas showroom, WMC, B455. As is customary, Kalaty’s primary emphasis is on their latest high-end hand-knotted collections and additions to best-selling hand-knotted collections. In addition to hand-knotted styles, Kalaty has expanded their upper-tier Luxe-Weave™ hand-finished power-loomed collections, which now includes Zara, Nexus, Blooma, Ventura and Paintwrks, all made with premium wools. But what sets these Luxe- Weave™ rugs apart from most standard power-loomed rugs is the proprietary Luxe-Weave™ process during which each rug receives a number of meticulous hand-finishing steps similar to what is given to Kalaty’s high-end rugs. These important hand-finishing steps impart the luxurious texture and qualities that make Kalaty Luxe-Weave™ rugs nearly indiscernible from many of their hand-knotted counterparts.
