Moroccan Berber rugs showcase the excellence of Moroccan craftsmanship. They are woven on traditional wooden looms in Morocco’s mountainous regions (the High 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 woven with knots. A Berber rug takes between four and eight weeks to make, depending on its size and the complexity of its patterns.

Azilal Berber rugs are made in the region around the town of the same name in the High Atlas. Traditionally decorated with a variety of monochrome patterns, they now feature a wealth of brightly coloured, sometimes fluorescent patterns against an ecru background. Azilal rugs have a less dense weave than Beni Ouarain rugs, for example, and are sometimes woven with a cotton weft thread, which can also be seen in the fringes. They are slightly thinner and more supple than traditional Beni Ouarain rugs.

By choosing an Azilal Berber rug for your home, you help preserve centuries-old traditional craftsmanship.

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