Flocatti Collection 18

Flokati Rugs have been a Greek tradition for centuries. These rugs originally served the shepherds as clothing, beds for tents, kept them warm during the long winter months.
The 5th century Vlach, who lived in Samarina, the highest Village on the Pindos Mountains, were the inventors of the Flokati Rug. As shepherds, they raised sheep and goats, and produced dairy products they sold during the winter months in the plains of Trikala, Thesally, Macedonia and as far as Odessa. Women would weave the wool into Flokati rugs and sold at bazaars. This tradition continues for centuries until the early 1900's. Mazarakis has continues the tradition of producing fine quality Flokati and other hand-woven rugs.
