The quality of the rugs was so important to the brothers that they personally went and hand-selected each rug to ensure that each was of the finest quality to bring home. The first shipments of rugs were Sparta rugs that came from Smyma. The company got its name from Couri, and from where the rugs came from... small weaving villages in that small region called Stan.
