This rug was woven by artisans that reside in a village just outside of Beni M'rirt which is located within the Middle Atlas Mountains.
Keltouma and her daughter Soukina lead this group of 25 artisans from a Village just outside Beni M’rirt, in the Middle Atlas Mountains. Founded in the early 2000s, the collective makes medium to high hand-knot rugs, a style named after the region. Traditional rugs from this region use a thick knotting technique, which makes the rugs feel extra plush.
The traditional Beni M’rirt rug contains a thick knot which allows for their rugs to feel extra plush.
Made up of 100% "live" wool and natural dyes, this design adapted a vintage rug from the local village and modernized the design motifs.
