  • Note: Handmade and vintage rugs may have some uneven fringes and possibly some wear that is consistent with age.

Story

This piece of art/rug was woven by two women in the Taznakht region southeast of the Atlas Mountains. Rugs from this region are known for their vibrant colors and the use of saffron as a base dye to reflect the earth tones. Taznakht is known for its high quality, pure live-sheep wool that can make rugs feel as soft as silk.

Thanks to the Moroccan government initiatives and the creation of co-ops in the greater region of Taznakht, there are now more than 2,2000 women artisans who are weaving rugs. Most of these women have inherited the craftswomanship through generations and passed it to their children and grandkids.

We want to thank you in advance for considering purchasing one of these art pieces and doing your part to keep this tradition alive now, and for generations to come.

As a Moroccan-American, small business owner with family roots that are not far from this region, I am committed to giving back to these villages and keeping these traditions alive.

Cleaning - These rugs have lasted for years and with proper care they will last for many more to come. We recommend to vacuum sideways once per week. If there is a spill, spot-clean immediately with a wet towel. In some instances, professional cleaning is recommended. Pure wool rugs love sunshine. If you can expose them to the sun, they will appreciate it.
