Our rugs are handmade on traditional vertical looms by an all female team of artisans in Morocco. Our weavers are highly skilled and use different weaving techniques to create both flat-weave and knotted constructions. By working directly and empowering the makers, we are helping preserve an analogue art that is over 3000 years old

Handmade rugs are made completely by hand, knot by knot, a process that can take several weeks if not months. The craft of rug making is a slow process to match a more natural pace of life, resulting in products that carry meaning, are kind to the environment and last for decades. Machine made counterparts can appear perfect, lacking character and story

Flat-woven rugs are made by weaving horizontal yarns (weft) through vertical yarns (warp). They have a sturdy rustic profile that can withstand high traffic areas and are easier to maintain.

Hand-knotted rugs are made by tying individual knots to the warp yarns along the width of the rug, and repeating the process along the length of the rug. It is a labour intensive process that results in a higher pile rug with a comfortable plush feel under foot.

Yes. Our bespoke service can be semi-bespoke, where you can customise colours and sizes of our in-house bespoke collection. Or we can expand to the full-bespoke offering to co-create an exclusive design for your project.

For small spills, place a damp cloth over the spill and apply reasonable pressure to soak up as much of the liquid as possible. Repeat this process as many times as needed with lukewarm water and mild detergent for more stubborn stains.

If your rug needs a full clean, you can contact us for advice on how to locate a professional rug cleaning professional in your area.

Tassels on one end of the rug is a centuries old Amazigh ritual. Burning, cutting or not weaving tassels on one end of the rug introduces an element of imperfection to the rug and is believed to repel evil.
