This rug will be woven by a group of artisans who reside in a village just outside of Beni M’rirt which is located within the Middle Atlas Mountains.
Pictured below is Khadija, one of the senior members of the association.
Made up of 100% wool, the taupe base was dyed natural using a mix of local plants while the black is undyed from black sheep.
The traditional Beni M’rirt rug contains a thick knot which allows for their rugs to feel extra plush.
The imperfect stripes coupled with these bold yet subdued tones are perfect for any home decor.
