Walter Guinan who created the Karastan brand would love your question. He created the name Karastan on a bar napkin because he wanted to create a line of carpet & rugs to sell through department stores that people would believe were something hand made and exotic.

There is not nor was there ever a land or tribe called Karatsan. Pakistan, Tajikistan or Afghanistan, yes; but no Karastan.

Today Karastan carpet & rugs are all mass produced, made on machines in a plant in exotic North Georgia, by the second largest carpet mill in the world, Mohawk Industries.

They are neither exotic nor unique, just sold that way.

A true oriental rug will be hand made & will have some intrinsic value. Sadly the world is so awash in fine Orientals that even genuine Orientals don't hold their value and seldom increase as antique rugs did..

Many a Karastan rug has been sold by a great salesman that told the buyer that it was an investment,, they were just selling the dream, Karastan rugs hold no such value.
