Moroccan rugs, selected by hand

The art of the Moroccan rug,at home.

Wool underfoot, geometry drawn by hand, colour that shifts with the light. We keep a small collection — each piece chosen individually, checked before it ships, and sent to you with FedEx tracking.

Chosen one at a time

We keep the collection small on purpose. Every rug is picked individually rather than ordered by the container, so nothing reaches the shop that we wouldn't put on our own floor.

Checked before it ships

Each piece is inspected and photographed as it is — pile, edges, backing and all. Anything that would surprise you when the parcel opens is written on the product page first.

Tracked FedEx delivery

Orders travel with FedEx and a tracking number, so you can follow the rug from dispatch to your door. Shipping is quoted separately and confirmed before payment.

Five rugs, five characters

A short, deliberate selection. Each one is listed with its true dimensions, its composition and photographs of the actual piece you would receive.

Background

Origins, fibres, motifsand how to keep one

What follows describes the Moroccan weaving tradition in general. The origin, composition and weave of any individual rug are listed on its own product page, and only once we have confirmed them.

Where they come from

Rug weaving in Morocco is a regional craft: the mountains, the plains and the desert each developed their own vocabulary of knots, colours and proportions. The names most often heard in the trade refer to the group or region a style is associated with, not to a single workshop.

  • Beni Ourain — associated with the Middle Atlas; typically ivory or cream wool with dark geometric linework.
  • Azilal — from the High Atlas; a single-knotted pile, often on a pale ground with irregular, freely drawn motifs.
  • Boujad — from the Haouz plains near Boujad; recognised for pinks, mauves and saturated reds.
  • Kilim (hanbel) — flat-woven rather than knotted, so there is no pile; lighter, reversible and closely patterned.
  • Boucherouite — woven from recycled textile strips rather than new wool, giving dense, high-contrast colour.

What they are made of

Wool is the traditional fibre, and it is what gives a Moroccan rug its resilience. Wool fibres are naturally crimped, so a pile springs back after being compressed, and the fibre's outer layer resists soiling and holds dye deeply. Cotton is commonly used for the foundation — the warp and weft the pile is knotted onto — because it is dimensionally stable.

  • Wool pile — durable, naturally flame-resistant, and forgiving of foot traffic.
  • Cotton foundation — keeps the rug flat and square over time.
  • Recycled fibre — used in boucherouite-style rugs, mixing cotton, wool and synthetics.
  • Undyed wool — the ivory, grey and brown tones of natural fleece, used without pigment.

Reading the patterns

Moroccan rug motifs are geometric rather than figurative: diamonds, chevrons, lozenges, ladders and open fields. Because rugs of this tradition are woven without a printed cartoon to follow, the linework drifts — a diamond widens, a border stops short. That irregularity is characteristic of the weave, not a defect.

  • Diamonds and lozenges — the most widespread motif across regions.
  • Open fields — large undecorated areas that let the wool itself carry the surface.
  • Asymmetry — lines that shift or motifs that change scale across the rug.
  • Abrash — subtle horizontal colour banding, caused by different dye batches of yarn.

Living with a wool rug

A wool rug rewards simple, regular care. The advice below is standard practice for wool floor coverings and applies to any rug with a wool pile.

  • Vacuum regularly without a rotating beater bar, which can pull at the pile; use suction alone.
  • Rotate the rug every few months so light and foot traffic wear it evenly.
  • Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry white cloth — press, do not rub, and work from the outside in.
  • Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight, which fades dyes over time.
  • Use a rug pad underneath: it stops slipping, cushions the pile and lets air circulate.
  • For deep cleaning or an old stain, use a professional rug cleaner who handles wool.

Our commitment

Your satisfaction is our priority

We are a young shop and we don't have customer reviews to show you yet — so rather than fill this space with words nobody said, here is what we hold ourselves to.

You see the actual rug

The photographs on a product page are of the piece you will receive — not a sample, not a render of the style.

No surprises at checkout

Shipping is quoted separately and confirmed before payment is taken. What you agree to is what you pay.

Answers before you buy

Ask for more photographs, a measurement, or a second opinion on whether a rug suits your room. We would rather you bought the right one.
