Moroccan Berber rugs reflect the excellence of Moroccan craftsmanship. They are woven on traditional wooden looms in Morocco’s mountain regions — the High Atlas or Middle Atlas, depending on the type of rug — by Berber women working at home or together in cooperatives in remote mountain villages.

All Berber rugs are made from sheep’s wool and hand-knotted. A Berber rug takes between four and eight weeks to make, depending on its size and the complexity of its patterns.

Contemporary Berber kilims are woven in Morocco’s High Atlas. The weaving technique used for these rugs is very old and highly complex: they are the only flat-woven rugs made with knotted wool. The women who have mastered these complex weaving techniques do not use a traditional loom. The result is a densely woven, 100% wool rug that is remarkably light and robust.

One distinctive feature of kilims and their flat weave is that they have no pile, unlike deep-pile rugs, making them very easy to care for. This is why they are often placed beneath a dining table, for example, but a Berber kilim rug will also find a place in any room of your home.

By choosing a Berber kilim for your home, you help preserve centuries-old traditional craftsmanship.

Made from natural materials, these rugs are durable: choose a Berber rug and you can keep it for years!
