Banana Manor
Banana Manor Rug Co. is “A Rug Store Like No Other.”. Voted the #1 Rug Store in New Orleans by Gambit and New Orleans Home, and named a Top 25 Retail Star in the US by Home Accents Today. Plus, they are a major “go to rug resource” for Interior Designers on the Gulf Coast & beyond.
When founding this extremely unique rug brand, the Head Banana, Scott McKearn, decided to make this brand an extension of himself, with “Ridiculous” as a core component. So his billboards parodying the infamous Burt Reynolds Cosmo centerfold come as no surprise.
Shop Banana Manor in-store and online and you will be amazed by their HUGE inventory of handmade rugs of all styles, but their specialty is Colorful & Whitewashed Oushaks. 6 years ago they set out with the goal to establish themselves as the premier retail and wholesale source for this rug type, with the largest offering and best prices in the U.S. and are well on their way to achieving that goal.
