These charming imperfections are not considered defects but are part of the unique story and beauty of each piece.

We specialize in creating beautiful, handmade rugs in any modern style, size, or color palette you desire. Please note that while we can take inspiration from a vintage design, the result will always be a new, modern interpretation, not an exact replica of the unique, aged original.

While there are dozens of unique tribal styles, each with its own history, here are some of the most famous and sought-after types of Moroccan rugs you will find:

  • Ait Bou Sbaa: From the Haouz region near Marrakech, these rugs are often characterized by their warm red backgrounds and striking geometric and symbolic motifs. You will often see the use of goat hairs or camel hairs for the borders and the tassels.

  • Arabia: Woven by Arab tribes in the same region of Boujad, these rugs can feature designs that are distinct from Berber patterns, sometimes showing influences from more classic oriental rug layouts with the use of floral patterns.

  • Azilal: More vibrant and colourful than Beni Ourains, these rugs are bursting with personality. They feature abstract, artistic patterns with a shorter pile. Often found in smaller and charmingly irregular formats, each rug is a unique canvas where the weaver tells a personal story through bold, intricate symbols.

  • Beni M'Guild: Characterized by their very dense, high pile and rich, deep colours like reds, purples, blues, and oranges. They were made for the cold winters of the Middle Atlas mountains.

  • Beni M'Rirt: A contemporary style of Berber weaving, Beni M'Rirt rugs are revered for using some of the finest and softest wool in all of Morocco. This premium quality wool results in an exceptionally dense, luxurious, and plush pile, creating a sophisticated and deeply comfortable foundation for any modern space.

  • Beni Ourain: Famous for their plush, creamy-white pile and simple, minimalist black or brown geometric patterns (often diamonds). A timeless choice for modern interiors.

  • Boujad: Known for their bold, abstract patterns and a warm palette of reds, pinks, oranges, and purples. They typically have a shorter, more loosely knotted pile, giving them a supple feel.

  • Boucherouite: The vibrant "rag rug" of Morocco. These are wildly creative, woven from recycled scraps of fabric, textiles, and wool, resulting in a unique, shaggy, and joyful texture.

  • Marmoucha: A relative of the Beni Ourain from the Middle Atlas, the Marmoucha rug often features a similar cream-coloured background. Its defining characteristic is a looser and more spacious weave, which creates bold, simple patterns with an authentic, unrefined feel, prioritizing texture and primitive charm over intricate detail.

  • Talsint: Hailing from eastern Morocco, these rugs often feature a unique combination of flatweave (kilim) usually at the ends and knotted pile sections, with intricate patterns and a rich, typically red and purple-dominated, colour palette.

  • Taznakht: From a famous weaving center in the High Atlas, these rugs are prized for their high-quality wool and use of natural dyes, especially saffron, which produces a brilliant golden-yellow.

  • Zayan: Woven by the Zayan tribe in the Middle Atlas, these rugs are known for their shaggy pile, reddish backgrounds, and geometric patterns, often featuring a central network of lozenges (diamonds).

1. Beni Ourain: The Minimalist & Plush

Think of timeless luxury and ultimate comfort. Beni Ourain rugs are famous for their thick, shaggy pile of soft, 100% natural wool. Their patterns are typically minimalist and geometric—often simple black or brown diamonds and lines on a creamy white or ivory background.

  • Choose a Beni Ourain if: You are looking for a sophisticated, versatile, and incredibly cozy rug to bring a feeling of serene luxury to a modern or Scandinavian-style room.

2. Boujad: The Artistic & Colourful

Think of a vibrant, abstract painting for your floor. Boujad rugs are bursting with personality, featuring bold, warm colours like pinks, reds, oranges, and purples. Their patterns are much more free-form, asymmetrical, and expressive than a Beni Ourain's. They typically have a shorter, more supple pile.

  • Choose a Boujad if: You want a one-of-a-kind statement piece that adds a warm, artistic, and bohemian energy to your space.

3. Kilim: The Flatwoven & Versatile

The most important difference here is the texture. A Kilim is a flatweave rug, which means it has no pile at all. This makes it much lighter, thinner, and often reversible. Kilims feature sharp, intricate geometric patterns and come in a wide range of colours, from earthy to bright.

  • Choose a Kilim if: You need a versatile and durable rug that is easy to move and clean. They are perfect for layering over other carpets, for use in dining areas and hallways, or even as a beautiful wall hanging.

To truly appreciate an authentic Moroccan rug is to understand that you are looking at a story. For centuries, the Amazigh (Berber) women of the Atlas Mountains have used weaving as a form of non-verbal communication and artistic expression. Lacking a widespread written language, they encoded their identity, spirituality, and daily experiences into their textiles.

The meaning of these symbols is a deeply personal and tribal language, passed from mother to daughter. While interpretations can vary between tribes and even between individual weavers, there are common themes and meanings that allow us to understand the rich narrative woven into every piece.

Part 1: The Language of Colors - A Chromatic Story

The colors in a vintage rug were derived from the natural world, using dyes from local plants, berries, roots, and minerals. Each color was chosen for its symbolic power.

  • Red: The most powerful color, symbolizing strength, protection, and life itself. Red is the color of blood and vitality, often used in rugs for celebrations like weddings and births. It is a talisman against the evil eye.

    • Source: Madder root, cochineal.

  • Blue: Represents wisdom, eternity, and the infinite. It is the color of the sky and the heavens, bringing a sense of tranquility and spiritual connection to a piece.

    • Source: Indigo.

  • Yellow: Symbolizes the sun, divinity, and wealth—both material and spiritual. Saffron-yellow, in particular, is highly prized and associated with the divine.

    • Source: Saffron, pomegranate skins, wild chamomile.

  • Green: The color of nature, paradise, and fertility. It represents peace and prosperity. In Islamic culture, green has a particularly sacred status.

    • Source: Henna, mint leaves, alfalfa.

  • Black & Brown: These earthy tones represent the land, grounding, and stability. While brown is the color of the natural wool, black can sometimes symbolize a difficult experience, but it is also used to provide a powerful protective outline for other symbols.

    • Source: Natural undyed wool, minerals like iron.

  • White & Cream: The natural, undyed color of the sheep's wool. It represents purity, peace, blessings, and the sacred. It provides a luminous contrast that makes the other colors come alive.

Part 2: The Vocabulary of Symbols - A Glossary of Motifs

The geometric patterns that seem abstract at first are actually a rich vocabulary of ancestral symbols.

  • The Diamond (Lozenge): This is arguably the most prevalent symbol in Berber weaving. It is a powerful emblem of the feminine, representing the womb, fertility, and the act of giving birth. A field of diamonds often signifies a wish for a happy family and many children. It also doubles as a protective "eye," a talisman to ward off evil spirits and protect the family.

  • The Chevron (Zigzag): This dynamic pattern often represents natural elements like a river, a stream of water, or the slithering movement of a snake. Water is life in the harsh mountain or desert environments, so this symbol is tied to life's journey, change, and constant movement.

  • The 'X' Shape: This symbol is often interpreted as a sign of conformity to tradition and family unity. It can also represent a crossroads or the act of a union, such as a marriage, symbolizing the joining of two paths into one.

  • The Checkerboard: A pattern of alternating light and dark squares, the checkerboard can symbolize barley fields, and by extension, fertility and abundance. It can also represent the dualities of life: day and night, happiness and sadness, male and female.

  • The Bird: Often depicted in a highly stylized form, birds are seen as messengers between the earth and the heavens. They symbolize good luck, blessings, and freedom.

  • Scissors & The Weaver's Comb (Khetf): These tools of the weaver's trade are often woven into the rug. They represent the act of creation, the skill of the artisan, and the power of femininity and creativity.

Part 3: The Weaver's Personal Story

It is crucial to understand that these symbols are not a rigid alphabet. The true magic lies in how the weaver combines them. The final composition is a deeply personal expression of her own life. A rug might contain symbols of her recent marriage, the birth of a child, her hopes for a good harvest, or prayers for the protection of her family.

This is why no two authentic Moroccan rugs are ever the same. Each one is a unique "woven diary," a one-of-a-kind piece of art that holds the spirit and story of the woman who created it. When you bring a rug like this into your home, you are becoming the next guardian of that story.

The Art of Choosing: Your Guide to Selecting the Perfect Moroccan Rug

Choosing a Moroccan rug is like choosing a piece of art for your home. It’s an exciting process that can transform a room, adding soul, warmth, and a story that lasts a lifetime. This guide will walk you through the key considerations—from practical size to the details of craftsmanship—to help you find the perfect piece for your space.

1. Start with Size & Placement: The Foundation of Your Room

Before falling in love with a pattern, the most important first step is to measure your space. The right size rug will unify your furniture and define the area, while the wrong size can make a room feel disjointed.

A quick tip: Use masking tape on your floor to outline the potential rug size. This helps you visualize the impact it will have.

  • For the Living Room: You have three main options.

    • All Legs On: The rug is large enough for all your furniture (sofa, chairs, coffee table) to sit completely on it. This creates a luxurious, unified feel.

    • Front Legs On: The most popular choice. The rug is large enough for the front legs of your sofa and chairs to rest on it, connecting the seating area.

    • Coffee Table Only: In smaller spaces, a rug that sits just under the coffee table can add a pop of colour and texture without overwhelming the room.

  • For the Dining Room: The rug should be large enough so that when you pull the chairs out to sit down, their legs remain on the rug. A good rule is to ensure the rug extends at least 24 inches (60 cm) beyond the edges of your dining table.

  • For the Bedroom: A large rug that frames the entire bed and nightstands looks stunning. Alternatively, you can place a smaller rug or runner on each side of the bed, or place a rug two-thirds of the way under the bed, leaving a soft landing for your feet in the morning.

2. Understand the Quality: The Heart of the Rug

What makes an authentic Moroccan rug a true investment? It comes down to the materials and the incredible skill of the weaver.

  • What kind of wool? Our authentic Moroccan rugs are crafted from 100% live, natural sheep's wool. This is not the processed wool you find in machine-made carpets. Moroccan wool is prized for its long, strong fibres, which give the rugs their incredible durability and rich texture. It also contains high levels of natural lanolin, which acts as a built-in stain and water repellent, making the rugs surprisingly easy to care for.

  • What is Knot Density? Knot density refers to the number of knots per square inch or centimetre. As your note says, more knots = a denser, longer-lasting rug. A high knot density allows the weaver to create more detailed, intricate patterns and results in a very durable carpet that can withstand decades of use. While a high density is a mark of quality, some styles, like the plush Beni Ourain, intentionally use a slightly looser knot to achieve their signature shaggy and luxurious feel.

  • Handmade or Machine-Made? Every rug at Surcoma is 100% handmade. A machine-made rug is produced quickly on a power loom, resulting in a perfectly uniform but lifeless product. A handmade rug is knotted entirely by hand on a traditional loom by an artisan, a process that can take weeks or months. This is where the "soul" of the rug comes from. You will see slight, charming imperfections and asymmetries—these are not flaws, but the signature of the artist and the guarantee of true authenticity.

3. Define Your Style: Color & Pattern

Once you know your size and appreciate the quality, you can focus on the fun part: aesthetics!

  • The Mood of Color: The colours in your rug will have a significant impact on the feel of your room.

    • Warm Tones (Reds, Oranges, Pinks): Found in Boujad and Beni M'Guild rugs, these colours create a cozy, inviting, and energetic atmosphere.

    • Neutral Tones (Creams, Whites, Browns): The signature of Beni Ourain rugs, these create a calm, serene, and sophisticated space, allowing texture to be the star.

    • Vibrant & Multi-Color: Azilal and Boucherouite rugs use a rainbow of colours to create a joyful, artistic, and bohemian feel.

  • The Energy of Pattern: Ask yourself what role you want the rug to play.

    • A Bold Statement: Do you want a centerpiece that commands attention? Look for rugs with large, bold geometric patterns and high-contrast colours.

    • A Textural Foundation: Do you want a more subtle piece that grounds the room and complements your existing decor? Look for minimalist patterns, like the simple diamonds of a Beni Ourain, or a Beni M'Rirt with a rich, solid colour field.

Ultimately, the right rug is the one that speaks to you. We're here to help you find a piece of woven art that you will treasure for a lifetime.

We understand that choosing the perfect rug for your home is a big decision, and we are here to help you feel completely confident in your choice.

To start, we take great care to photograph our rugs in natural light to represent their true colours and textures as accurately as possible. Each product page includes multiple high-resolution images, including close-ups, to give you a full sense of the piece.

And yes, absolutely! If you are considering a rug and would like to see more, we are more than happy to provide additional photos or a short video. Simply contact us at surcoma.rez@gmail.com or by whatsapp at: +212661466127 with the name of the rug you are interested in, and we can show you how it looks in different lighting or provide more specific detail shots.

Pro-Tip: A helpful trick is to use the rug's dimensions (listed in the description) and lay out masking tape or newspapers on your floor. This will give you a perfect real-world sense of the rug's scale and how it will fit with your furniture.

Every single rug we offer at Surcoma is 100% handmade by talented women in Morocco. We do not sell any machine-made products. This commitment to traditional craftsmanship is what gives our rugs their unique soul and character.

Here are a few simple ways you can tell the difference between a truly handmade piece and a machine-made one:

  • Look at the Back of the Rug: On a handmade rug, you will see the individual knots and a slightly uneven pattern on the back, mirroring the design on the front. A machine-made rug often has a rigid plastic backing or a perfectly uniform, cross-stitched grid.

  • Check the Fringes: The fringes on our rugs are an integral part of the rug's foundation—they are the ends of the warp threads. On a machine-made rug, fringes are typically sewn or glued on afterward purely as a decoration.

  • Embrace the Imperfections: A handmade rug will have slight, charming imperfections and a gentle asymmetry in its patterns. This is the signature of the artisan and your guarantee that the piece is truly one-of-a-kind. Machine-made rugs, by contrast, are perfectly symmetrical and identical.

Absolutely. Hand-knotted from 100% sheep wool, Moroccan rugs are renowned for their durability and resilience. Our rugs are perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and other frequently used spaces, but be sure to follow care instructions, like rotating regularly, to keep it looking its best for years.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Our rugs are crafted from 100% natural, locally sourced sheep's wool. The wool's quality gives the rugs their signature softness, durability, and rich texture. The foundation (or warp) of the rug is sometimes made of cotton, which provides a strong and stable base for the wool knots.

It is completely normal for a new wool rug to shed a little at first. This is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool fibres and a sign of its authenticity. This initial shedding will decrease significantly over a few weeks with regular, gentle vacuuming.

You will receive the exact rug shown in the photos. However, please remember that these are handmade items. We do our best to capture the colours accurately, but they may vary slightly depending on your screen's lighting and calibration. Any minor variations or "imperfections" in the pattern are part of the unique story and charm of your one-of-a-kind piece.

Authentic Moroccan rugs are considered an investment in art and craftsmanship, and their price reflects this value. There are four main reasons:

  • Premium Materials: They are made from 100% natural, high-quality sheep's wool, which is a premium and durable material that will last for generations.

  • Exceptional Skill & Rarity: Each rug is knotted entirely by hand by a woman artisan, often over weeks or even months. This is a highly skilled process using ancient techniques passed down through generations. Many of these traditional weaving skills are becoming increasingly rare, making each rug a true testament to a specialized craft that few still possess.

  • Uniqueness: Every handmade rug is a one-of-a-kind piece. You are not buying a mass-produced item, but a unique work of art with its own story and character.

  • Ethical Sourcing: We are committed to fair trade principles. We work directly with our artisans and cooperatives at the source in Morocco to ensure they are paid fairly for their incredible skill and time. When you buy a rug from us, you are directly supporting these talented women and helping to preserve their cultural heritage.

  • Vintage Rugs: These are typically 20-80 years old and have a rich history. Their colours have often mellowed beautifully over time, and the wool has become exceptionally soft from years of use. They are one-of-a-kind collector's items.

  • New Rugs / Modern Rugs: These are newly made rugs with contemporary design but in preserving traditional methods. They are in pristine condition and offer the same high-quality craftsmanship, often with a more modern interpretation of classic designs.

When you first unwrap your rug, you may notice a faint, earthy scent of natural wool, and sometimes the lanolin within it. This is a positive sign of an authentic, natural product and is not a chemical odour. This scent will dissipate completely within a few days of airing out in a well-ventilated room.

Absolutely! This is one of the most common questions we get, and the answer is a resounding yes. The durability of these rugs is one of their greatest strengths.

Remember, these rugs were not created as delicate items. They were woven by Amazigh (Berber) artisans to be the functional, everyday heart of their homes—built to withstand generations of family life. The 100% natural wool is incredibly resilient, naturally stain-resistant due to its lanolin content, and easy to clean.

While all of our handmade rugs are durable, some styles are true champions in the busiest of homes.

For the Busiest Spaces: Our Top Recommendations

1. For Incredible Durability & Easy Cleaning: Kilim Rugs

Kilims are a fantastic choice for the highest-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, and dining rooms. Here’s why:

  • No Pile: Because they are flatwoven, they are extremely durable and the weave will not get crushed or matted down over time.

  • Easy to Clean: Spills, crumbs, and dirt sit on the surface, making them very easy to clean, and pet hair can be swept or vacuumed away effortlessly.

  • Reversible: Many of our Kilims are also reversible, essentially giving you two rugs in one!

2. For Hiding Stains & Playful Style: Boucherouite Rugs

Often called "rag rugs," Boucherouite pieces are the heroes of a busy family home. Here’s why:

  • Stain Camouflage: Their vibrant, multi-colored, and beautifully chaotic patterns are amazing at hiding stains and spills from kids or pets.

  • Resilient & Fun: Made from a mix of recycled textiles, they are very resilient and have a joyful, creative energy that is perfect for playrooms, kids' rooms, or any space where life gets a little messy.

So, while any of our authentic Moroccan rugs are built to last, if you're looking for a true workhorse for the most demanding areas of your home, we highly recommend exploring our Kilim and Boucherouite collections.

CARE

Caring for your Moroccan rug is simple! For regular maintenance, we recommend gently vacuuming it 1-2 times a week (use a suction-only attachment, without a beater bar) and air it outside every few months. For minor spills, act quickly by blotting the area with a clean, dry cloth. If needed, use a small amount of water and a gentle soap. For deep cleaning, we strongly recommend seeking a professional rug cleaner who specializes in wool carpets to preserve the rug's natural fibers and vibrant colors for years to come.

We advise against using a robot vacuum or any vacuum with a powerful, spinning beater bar. These can be too aggressive and can snag the natural fibres or damage the fringes of a hand-knotted rug. The best method is to use a standard vacuum with a simple suction-only attachment.

Creases and folds from shipping are completely normal and will disappear. The best way to flatten your rug is to lay it out on the floor in a warm, sunny spot for a day or two. The warmth will help relax the wool fibres. You can also try rolling it tightly in the opposite direction of the curls for a day. Do not place heavy objects on the folds, as this can crush the pile.

This is a common concern, but the great news is that, contrary to popular belief, natural wool is one of the most hypoallergenic and healthy choices for a rug in your home.

Rather than bringing pollutants in, it actually helps to remove them from the air. Here's how:

  1. Wool is a Natural Air Filter: Wool fibers have a unique structure that actively traps and absorbs common airborne pollutants like dust, pollen, and other allergens. Instead of these particles circulating in the air you breathe, the rug holds onto them until you vacuum, effectively improving the air quality in your home.

  2. It's Naturally Resistant to Dust Mites: The microscopic scales on wool fibers and their ability to manage moisture make it a naturally inhospitable environment for dust mites, which are a major trigger for allergies and asthma.

  3. It Doesn't Create Dust: When a new wool rug sheds a little at first, these are natural wool fibers from the weaving process, not dust. This is a temporary phase that stops with a few gentle vacuums.

So, far from being a source of allergens, a 100% natural wool rug like ours actively contributes to a cleaner, healthier indoor environment. With regular care, it is a beautiful and beneficial choice for any home, including those with children and allergy sufferers.

QUALITY & MATERIALS

Our vintage rugs were coloured using natural dyes from plants and minerals, which are designed to be very long-lasting (colorfast). However, like any dyed textile or piece of art, prolonged exposure to direct, harsh sunlight can cause some fading over many years. We recommend rotating your rug every year or so to ensure it ages evenly.

  1. Our Vintage Rugs (Natural Dyes): Our vintage and antique pieces are celebrated for their use of 100% natural dyes. For centuries, Berber artisans created stunning colors from the resources around them—saffron and pomegranate for yellows, indigo for blues, and madder root for deep reds. These organic dyes age beautifully, mellowing over time to create the soft, harmonious palettes that make vintage rugs so sought-after.

  2. Our Modern Rugs (Natural or High-Quality Modern Dyes): For our newly crafted rugs, artisans may use either traditional natural dyes or high-quality modern dyes. When modern dyes are used, they are selected for their superior colorfastness and durability, ensuring the rug remains vibrant for decades. This also provides the weavers with a wider, more consistent palette to express their creativity.

Whether vintage or new, we hand-pick every rug for its exceptional beauty, craftsmanship, and the quality of its coloration. We specify the dye type in the product description whenever possible, but you can be assured that all our rugs are made with the highest quality materials available.

ETHICS & AUTHENTICITY

We are happy to provide a complimentary Certificate of Authenticity for your rug—simply let us know at the time of purchase.

The Hands Behind the Weave: The Ethical Promise of a Surcoma Rug

When you look at an authentic Moroccan rug, you see more than just intricate patterns and rich colours; you see a story of culture, tradition, and artistry. A critical part of that story, and a question we take to heart, is: "Are these rugs made ethically?" For us at Surcoma, the answer is not just a simple "yes," but the entire foundation of our business.

A Craft Rooted in Community, Not Factories

Unlike mass-produced carpets, our rugs are not made in factories. They are born in the small, often remote villages of Morocco's Atlas Mountains, from the High Atlas to the plains of Haouz. Rug-making here is a hallowed tradition, a matriarchal art form passed down through countless generations from mother to daughter. It is a craft that is deeply woven into the fabric of community and family life. The weaving is done in the artisans' own homes, at their own pace, allowing them to balance their craft with their family and social responsibilities. This is not just a job; it is a cherished part of their cultural identity.

Weaving a Stronger Future: Economic Empowerment

In many of these rural communities, weaving is a vital economic lifeline. It is often one of the few avenues for women to earn an independent income, giving them a powerful voice in their families and communities. The income generated from a single rug can support a family, contribute to the education of children, and provide a level of financial independence that might otherwise be out of reach. When done right, the rug trade is a powerful force for good, helping to sustain local economies and empower women.

The Surcoma Commitment: A Partnership Built on Respect

This is where our promise to you comes in. We understand that true ethical sourcing goes beyond simply appreciating the craft; it requires a commitment to the people who create it. That is why we operate on a model of direct partnership.

We travel to these regions ourselves and work directly with the women weavers and the artisan cooperatives they have formed. By eliminating unnecessary middlemen, we can engage in a transparent and respectful negotiation process. This ensures that the artisans are paid a fair, living wage that truly reflects their incredible skill, time, and the rarity of their craft.

When you purchase a rug from Surcoma, you can be confident that the majority of its value flows directly back to the woman who spent weeks, or even months, bringing it to life. It is a partnership built on dignity and a shared passion for preserving this timeless art form. Your purchase is a conscious choice that supports female entrepreneurs, sustains a beautiful tradition, and brings a truly ethical piece of art into your home.

All of our rugs are sourced directly from the heart of Morocco's ancient weaving regions, from the remote villages of the Atlas Mountains to the plains surrounding Marrakech.

And yes, we are deeply committed to working directly with the artisans and local cooperatives who create these beautiful pieces. We travel to these communities to build lasting, respectful relationships with the talented women weavers.

This direct-sourcing model ensures two things: first, that the artisans receive a fair and equitable payment for their incredible skill, and second, that we can hand-pick the most beautiful and authentic rugs for our collection. When you buy from Surcoma, you are directly supporting these craftswomen and helping to preserve their invaluable cultural heritage.
