The 1964 film adaptation of Harold Robbins “The Carpetbaggers” motivated Jerry Terrence to use the rugs sold at his family business, Target Carpets to fashion his outrageously popular line of "Jerry Terrence Carpet Bags". The bags were discontinued three years later. The interior is the underside of the fiber carpet. This makes this unique vintage 60's Terrance JET BLACK even more valuable.
