Custom Braided Rugs Made in the USA
Colonial Braided Rug has been crafting high-quality braided rugs since 1946, maintaining family ownership and operation since 1978. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our use of 100% American-made Olefin yarn, a durable, colorfast fiber that surpasses traditional materials like wool or cotton in strength and longevity. Every rug is custom-made to order at our Shelby, NC facility, with a typical turnaround time of under two weeks. Our proprietary Josephs Coat design ensures each rug is unique, and we offer personalized color selection assistance with free sample kits to guarantee satisfaction. As a business rooted in tradition yet adaptable to modern trends, we combine decades of expertise with innovative materials to create reversible, machine-washable rugs suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.Our lifetime warranty on sewing stitches underscores our confidence in product quality, while our direct customer engagement ensures tailored solutions for unique spaces. With a focus on transparency and customer education, we provide detailed care instructions and honest pricing without artificial sales. Our president, Donna Noblitt, brings over 40 years of hands-on experience in rug design and production, ensuring every product meets exacting standards. This dedication to craftsmanship and service has sustained our growth through decades of evolving home decor trends.
