Foreign Accents was started in 1984. In the past 20 years, they have been able to find outstanding manufacturing partners in over 30 countries. From handmade to machine-made, hand-woven, machine-woven to hand-knotted, pile rugs to flat weaves, even rugs made from banana bark - they have worked with some of the very best, and they still do. Dealing with people from around the world has been one of the joys and challenges in this business. Foreign Accents has been richly rewarded for its efforts in spearheading contemporary design in the industry. At the New York Home Textiles Show, they have received the “Best New Product” award - three times! In many industry publications, they have been cited as the importer who continues to set the trends in modern rugs. But the best rewards come from our customers - you - and the excitement they see year after year when they present their collections. And they have truly enjoyed the friendships they have developed with many of you over the years!
