Richard Habib's Alexander's Artisan Rugs, Dozens More MV Businesses Nab Pacific Sun Best of Marin Honors

8/5/2020

Richard Habib, owner of Alexander’s Artisan Rugs in Mill Valley, just celebrated his 42nd year in the rug business, as well as his fourth year at his location along the landmark brick walkway at 1 El Paseo Lane and Sunnyside Avenue.

​That anniversary came with a cherry on top, as his longtime local shop
 was named Best Rug Shop in Marin from the Pacific Sun's lauded annual "Best of Marin" awards, unveiled late last month.

Habib says he's thrilled to receive the honor, especially considering that it's the eighth time he's received it, having garnered the honor every year between 1998 and 2005. "It came as a surprise as I've tended to keep a rather lower profile, yet been very active serving the rug needs of Marin Counties more discerning clientele," he says. "It's taken a lot of twists and turns, and I'm so grateful to my friends, family and customers for being with me through it all."

Disheartened to see you left Tam Hiking Tours out of the list of winners. Being chosen as best Tours in Marin is a real honor.

Congratulations to my friend Richard Habib. I have known the family since the 1950s, all in the rug business, whether in Mill Valley, S.F., or Palm Springs. Always beautiful imported Persian, Turkish and other rugs.
