The It List: 9 of Our Favorite Online Sources for Vintage Rugs
If you’re a vintage hunter, you know the feeling of spotting a mind-blowingly gorgeous rug in someone’s home only to hear the dreaded “oh, yes, it’s vintage and I found it in Marrakesh/a far-off flea market/I’m never telling you” when you inquire with its owner about where it came from. And while it feels like getting your hands on a bonafide vintage treasure requires investing in a plane ticket across the globe (and a month’s rent after you fish out your find from a bazaar), it doesn’t have to be that way! That dreamy vintage rug is but a click away and cheaper than you think! Check out some of our favorite purveyors here. (But feel free to pretend your journey involved far more than opening up your laptop — your secret’s safe with us.)
