Description

This rug was 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. 

Keltouma and her daughter Soukina lead this group of 25 artisans from a Village just outside Beni M’rirt, in the Middle Atlas Mountains. Founded in the early 2000s, the collective makes medium to high hand-knot rugs, a style named after the region. Traditional rugs from this region use a thick knotting technique, which makes the rugs feel extra plush.

The traditional Beni M’rirt rug contains a thick knot which allows for their rugs to feel extra plush.

Made up of 100% live wool, the wool was dyed utilizing a variety of spices and florals to achieve the vibrant accent colors throughout the design.
