Deborah from Houston wanted some gray alpaca pillows recently. As it happens we have them in both Huacaya, which is the most prevalent Alpaca breed, but also in Suri, which is less common. We were sold out of the gray Huacaya, so I was hoping she would like the Suri. Deborah ended up getting the Suri in both 20in round Cool Gray and 16x24 Blue-Gray.
Deborah was kind enough to send us some photos of how she was using them in her high rise. As you can see, the pillows have found favor with Basia, her doggie. Looks as if Basia really enjoys relaxing on them, and they didn't need to be stuffed either!
Deborah tells me that Basia had been scratching the chairs in her husband’s office, but now that she has the pillows, the scratching has stopped. I hope that doesn’t wear off! I’m not sure if the pillows were bought for her, but they definitely belong to Basia now!
Deborah wanted to know if I thought her dog was spoiled. The answer is YES!! It looks as if she’s the boss around the high rise, so it’s very fitting that she gets pouffy fur pillows to sleep on… Actually we sell a lot of alpaca pillows and rugs for people’s pets. It's easy to understand if they are all as cute as Basia!

I have noticed that while people may own many things, there are always a few possessions that are especially prized over others. Maybe they are exceptionally useful, or beautiful, or hold sentimental value. Often they are things that simply evoke a special time or place in one’s life. And when they are lost, there can [...]
Most people I believe, have some animal species that they feel a special connection to. Some people tend towards the exotic (think panther or sea turtle) while for many of us, a simple dog or cat is our connection to the natural world. It may be a spiritual connection, or there may simply be a [...]
Almost everybody likes Superman. At least it seems so to me. People read the comics, go see the Superman movies, or perhaps just like the idea that someone is out there, righting wrongs. If you do have a soft spot for Superman, then I think you will like this custom alpaca rug that we made [...]
To most people in this world, alpaca is a big mystery. I mean, they don't know if it's an animal, vegetable or mineral. Once they get hold of some though, it's a different story. People familiar with alpaca always seem to want to have it around. So I'm regularly replacing people's 30 year old rugs, lost rugs, [...]
The Interlocking Squares design has been a perennial favorite with our customers for as long as I can remember. I think it has a number of things going for it. First of all, it's a geometric design that, while bold and arresting, is simple enough to not overwhelm other furnishings. Secondly, the design has 4 major areas that can [...]
I first talked to Baz in Queensland, Australia a few months ago. He and his wife Annie were looking for a fur rug. This in itself was not unusual. We sell quite a bit of Alpaca to people in Australia. In fact I think we sell more there than any other country outside the US. We even sell sheepskin [...]
Alpaca has a lot of great qualities. Chief among them is the lightness, softness, and silkiness of the fur, ensured by careful pelt selection and gentle processing. This softness makes it a natural for nurseries and children's bedrooms, where it can provide a touch of comfort in a fast-paced world. Alexis, an artist from San Diego was [...]
Here at SoftRugs we have shipped rugs to most every corner of the globe (including Tasmania), but I am always thrilled to add another country to the list. So it was nice to hear that someone in Finland wanted a custom rug to warm up their living room. Mona is from Tuusula, Finland, a town about 17 [...]
Nothing beats the impact of a large white fur rug! In fact some care is in order to prevent such a powerful element from overly dominating a room. Nevertheless, it's an exciting piece and I was glad to make it happen for this client. Donna from Alberta, Canada was looking for a high impact element for her Great Room. She [...]
