My cousin just moved back to the states after several years working abroad. A buyer for a decorating firm, she has the most exquisite taste. I was looking forward to attending her welcome home open house to see what kind of treasures she’d collected during her travels. She bought an elegant older home with lots of beautiful wood molding and gorgeous hardwood floors. Walking into the updated parlor was like walking into a magazine spread from House Beautiful. The furniture, accent pieces, drapes, floral arrangements — all were perfect; but what elevated the room from beautiful to stunning was the Persian rug that was both its anchor and its showpiece.
I naturally assumed that my cousin had purchased the rug in the Middle East during a buying run. The rug was beautifully made, hand-knotted, perfectly patterned and richly colored. My cousin confirmed that it was a genuine Persian rug, hand-crafted in the Middle East; but I was stunned to find out that she had purchased it from Rugman.com on Coupon Cactus after returning to the states. She confided that with Rugman coupons on Coupon Cactus she had not only saved 80% with Rugman’s Colors of the Rainbow Sale (through April 20, 2009) but had also gotten free shipping and received a 6% cash back rebate as a Coupon Cactus member.
Designers know all the tricks and where to find the best bargains. My cousin said Rugman on Coupon Cactus is her favorite source for authentic, high quality, handmade Persian and Oriental rugs. Rugman keeps prices low by buying directly from weavers around the world. The rugs they purchase are hand-crafted using natural fibers and dyes, combining natural beauty with a small environmental footprint. Best of all, Rugman’s Fair Trade practices support traditional family businesses and encourage preservation of age-old skills.
