I guess that means that <i>anyone</i> with six grand can buy one. Shouldn’t that be Design Within Reach of the Rich?

I am working on a die cut leather rug fourteen and a half woven feet wide, and ten and a half woven feet long. Should be a 14X10 when it comes off the loom. Shag pile. Someone here was correct...NO DYSON..these rugs are considered to be heirloom pieces, they are functional, but also decorative in nature, but also a reflection of the owners artistic bent. The hand knotting and weaving of the individual pieces is a work of art. It's time consuming, and the attention to detail has to be unwavering. $6000? Whatever. Fair labor charge I'd say.....or make it yourself, you'll see. Well, it’s quite a delightful litte piece.

It can be super cheap if you use thrift store sweaters and the like. And something about cutting and arranging felt makes me think of elementary school. I think this rug (and the rose rug the post refers to) are both beautiful but I wonder about function. How the heck do you vacuum one of these? First pass of the Dyson and it's torn to shreds.

It is about being able to purchase designer items, which at one time was impossible for anyone outside the profession. The “within reach” part of DWR is not about within a certain price range.

Not that I have the money for either. ;) Actually, $6000 isn’t elite, it takes into account a lot of hand labor by someone who is a professional at it. $60,000 would be a price tacked on because of “who designed it”.
