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."
