Le Vieux Village’s Monochrome Mixed Technique

This mixed technique rug was handwoven by the artisans of Le Vieux Village, a beautiful collective of women artisans just outside of Tazenakht.

This association is a true family affair. Mlouka, the matriarch of the collective, has passed the art of weaving down to her daughters, Naima and Fatima, daughters-in-law, Latifa and Meriem, cousins, and villagers. All of the rugs from Le Vieux are made from 100% live wool that was brushed, carded, and spun by the women of the association.

This mixed technique involves the Zanafi center and wrapped around is the Low Hand-Knot technique.

This modern combination adds a layer of dimension that makes this piece a true showstopper.
