Days to Make


From the heart of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, our Berber rugs embody a story of craftsmanship, heritage, and sustainability. Handwoven often by 2nd or 3rd generation women artisans, each rug is a one of a kind masterpiece and created using Africa's first carbon negative yarns. This wool, hand-spun with care, is dyed with natural pigments from local plants and minerals, producing the vibrant earthy tones that reflect the Moroccan landscape. Every pattern and symbol in the rug carries the stories, traditions, and cultural expressions passed down through generations of Berber weavers.

We are committed to preserving these age-old traditions while supporting the artisans who bring them to life. By partnering directly with local cooperatives, we ensure that the women who create these works of art are fairly compensated with each rug priced by the artisan themselves. Each rug is not just a beautiful addition to your home, but a symbol of heritage, sustainability, and the empowerment of the artisans who continue this ancient craft.

  • Size: L:210cm (83") x W:155cm (61")

At the heart of our philosophy is a commitment to transparent pricing and supporting fair compensation for artisans. Traditionally, Moroccan artisans receive as little as 4% of a rug’s sale price, a disheartening reality that led many to abandon their craft. The majority of our Berber rugs take between 20 - 40 days to make.

By partnering directly with cooperatives in Morocco, we ensure that the skilled women who weave each rug set their own prices, giving them full control over the value of their work. This approach not only safeguards the rich heritage of Berber weaving but also promotes sustainable growth, empowering these artisans to earn a good income while preserving their cultural traditions.

Our Berber rugs are ready to despatch from our studio in Morocco. If you would like a custom request such as a certain colour or size amendment we would be delighted to help organise this for you. Our Delivery timelines are below:

To care for your Berber rug, vacuum or shake it regularly to remove dirt and debris, as wool is naturally resistant to stains and dust. Its durable, handwoven fibres ensure resilience against heavy foot traffic, maintaining the rug's shape and texture. For deeper cleaning, occasional professional care may be needed. With proper maintenance, your Berber rug will not only retain its beauty and comfort but also develop a unique patina, becoming a treasured piece for generations.

We are helping create Africa's first carbon negative yarn. We offset every kg of carbon consumed for the future. We're researching and developing the ability to sequester carbon in the same areas we source our wool. The better care we can take of our land, the better quality wool we can provide to you.

If you need any information, have a special request, or have an idea you'd like to bring to life, we're here to help make it happen!

The Artisan Collective in Imelghaus

The artisans of Imghlaus can be found on the hillside above the village of Imghlaus in the Ait Bougamez valley, 200 kilometres from Marrakech. In 2011, the women of Imghlas wanted to find ways to earn additional money out side of their daily work in the fields. Fatima, a leader with a eye for design, helped to organise the women who decided that they would only succeed if they all worked together.

Accordingly, each sale we make from this groups they split equally rather than it going directly to the weaver (and most importantly not to the middlemen). While the group focuses on multiple types of carpets, all of them are made from 100% natural wool and dyes. In the future, the women hope to build a new centre and move out of their one room building with no electricity.

Central to our ethos is our direct partnership with artisan groups in Morocco. We ensure that the skilled women who craft each rug receive fair compensation for their work by allowing the women to set their own prices. By fostering these relationships, we preserve the rich cultural heritage of Berber weaving while promoting economic independence and sustainable growth within their communities. 

At the heart of each Berber rug lies the remarkable skill and dedication of Moroccan artisans who have perfected their craft over centuries. These master weavers, often women, possess an innate understanding of the intricate techniques and symbolic language that imbue Berber rugs with their unique character and beauty.

Supporting Artisans, Celebrating Craft

Our Berber rugs are handcrafted treasures, woven by skilled artisans from the Berber tribes of Morocco, using techniques passed down through generations. Each rug is made from natural, locally sourced wool and features symbolic patterns that reflect the weaver’s heritage and daily life.

Hand-spun wool is dyed with natural, eco-friendly dyes derived from plants, berries, and minerals, giving the rugs their rich, earthy tones. The intricate hand-weaving process ensures every rug is a one-of-a-kind piece, taking months to complete. These rugs are not only a luxurious addition to your home but also a symbol of cultural preservation, as we work directly with artisan cooperatives to support fair trade practices and ensure fair compensation.

With proper care, your Berber rug will offer beauty, comfort, and durability for generations, making it a timeless investment in both style and heritage.
