Although the gates on Katherine Bernhardt’s Lower East Side pop-up souk are now shuttered, her paintings and her Moroccan rugs, kilims, wedding blankets, and rag rugs are on display in her studio on Caton.
Small rugs, more like wall hangings, start at $600, while the larger ones can go into the thousands. You can make an appointment to see it all in person on her website. It even offers a personal shopper in Morocco if by chance you require something specific. As the site suggests, take off your shoes, have some tea, check out the art, and groove to the music. The hard part, the bargaining, comes later.
