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. Making a Berber rug takes between 4 and 8 weeks, depending on its size and the complexity of its patterns.

Boujaad Berber rugs are woven in Morocco’s High Atlas, originally by a Berber tribe from the town of Boujaad. Made from 100% wool on traditional looms, they are authentic rugs whose patterns and colours recall vintage pieces. Their authenticity also comes from their rural origins: Boujaad rugs are more rustic than their Beni Ouarain cousins. Their widely varied colours are sometimes deliberately faded and distressed to give them a patina reminiscent of antique rugs. Yet these are indeed new rugs, recognisable by their designs: a subtle blend of faded blocks of colour and traditional Berber symbols and drawings. Boujaad rugs are like a dictionary of Berber symbols and motifs, easily recognisable from one rug to the next. Their designs spring from the imagination of the women who weave them and are steeped in a centuries-old craft and cultural tradition. Today, Boujaad rugs can be considered among the most creative, thanks both to their extensive colour palette and to the complexity of their patterns. Made from natural materials, these rugs are built to last: choose a Berber rug and enjoy it for years!
