Hellenic Rug Imports, Inc.—one of the industry’s fastest growing
and popular manufacturers of handmade and power-loomed area rugs and home accents
Flokati rugs have been a Greek tradition for centuries. The
5th century Vlachs who lived in Samarina, the highest village on the Pindos
Mountains, were the inventors of the Flokati Rugs. As shepherds, they raised
sheep and goats, producing dairy products sold during the winter in the plains
of Trikala, Thessaly, Macedonia and as far away as Odessa. They used these rugs
primarily as clothing and bedding for their tents, keeping them warm during
the long winter months. The women of the village, having access to the wool,
would weave Flokati rugs to be sold at bazaars during the winter.
This tradition continued for centuries and didnt cease until the early 1960s.
The Mazarakis family has continued the tradition of producing fine quality Flokati
and hand-woven rugs.
During the past fifteen years, we have seen a tremendous demand for higher
quality Flokati rugs. Our customers have realized that a definite niche exists
for quality Flokati rugs in the home.
