Moroccan Rugs FAQ

  • Yes, always. Every rug we offer is woven by hand on traditional looms in the Atlas Mountains. No shortcuts, no machines — just real artisans keeping their craft alive. The tiny variations in pattern and weave? That’s the beauty of a handmade piece, not a flaw.
    Meet the Makers

  • Think of it like this:

    • Berber rug → any rug woven by Morocco’s Berber tribes.
    • Moroccan rug → the wider category, covering Berber, kilim, flatweave styles.
    • Beni Ourain rug → a specific type, ivory wool with minimalist diamonds, soft and timeless.
      Each name tells part of the story.

  • Easily. That’s why designers love them.

    • Quiet luxury → ivory Beni Ourain rugs under walnut tables and linen sofas.
    • Dopamine décor → bold Azilal or Boujaad rugs that pop with color and texture.
    • Minimalist homes → clean checkered rugs for crisp or engraved textures without playing with colors like our Scale collection, for modern rooms.
      One tradition, endless styles.

  • Yes. They’re made with natural wool, hand-spun yarn, and small-batch dyes. When you buy from us, you’re supporting cooperatives, fair wages, and keeping Moroccan traditions alive.

  • Decades. With a little care, your Berber rug will outlast trends and maybe even become a family heirloom. Wool is naturally strong, stain-resistant, and soft underfoot — built for real living.

    • Shedding: A little at first. It’s just loose wool fibers working themselves out. It calms down with time (around 2 weeks).
    • Smell: You might notice a faint lanolin scent — that’s the natural oil from sheep’s wool. It fades quickly and reminds you it’s the real thing.

  • Absolutely. at your desired size, colors, even the motifs. We’ll weave it from scratch and ship it to you. Custom means it’s yours alone.
