Beni Mrirt Abstract Shag Wool Rug – Handmade Moroccan Luxury

Elevate your space with this stunning Beni Mrirt Shag Runner, a luxurious piece handcrafted by skilled artisans deep in the Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Known for their meticulous attention to detail and unmatched craftsmanship, Beni Mrirt weavers create rugs that blend cultural heritage with modern design sensibility. This high-pile rug, made from 100% premium Moroccan wool, offers an irresistible combination of softness, durability, and style.

Why Choose a Beni Mrirt Rug?

Beni Mrirt rugs are globally admired for their thick pile, dense weave, and geometric or abstract motifs. Unlike mass-produced rugs, each one is a unique, handcrafted work of art created using techniques passed down for generations. The natural wool used is sheared from local sheep, washed by hand, and dyed using time-honored, sustainable methods.

Beni Mrirt rugs are considered a step above the more common Beni Ourain rugs, with higher knot density and a richer, softer texture. If you’re looking for heirloom quality and timeless beauty, Beni Mrirt is the premium choice.

Abstract Shag Wool Design for Modern Interiors

This abstract shag wool rug features a clean yet expressive design that complements a wide range of interiors—from contemporary apartments to rustic farmhouse settings. The minimalist abstract patterns offer visual interest without overwhelming your space.

Whether you're designing a warm, bohemian living room or a chic, modern bedroom, Beni Mrirt Shag Runner adds depth, texture, and luxury underfoot. Its thick shag pile absorbs sound and adds a cozy atmosphere, making it perfect for intimate spaces.

Handcrafted Quality That Lasts for Generations

Our Beni Mrirt rugs are not machine-made. Each piece is painstakingly knotted by hand using high-knot-density techniques, resulting in a dense and durable weave that holds up over time. Artisans often take weeks to months to finish a single rug—ensuring quality in every knot.

·       Material: 100% ethically sourced Moroccan wool

·       Pile Height: High-pile shag texture (~1.5 to 2 inches)

·       Origin: Handmade in Beni Mrirt, Morocco

·       Production Time: 4–12 weeks depending on size

These are investment pieces—not just rugs, but functional artwork that gains character over time.

Sustainably Sourced & Artisan-Made

We believe in ethical design. That’s why each rug is made in collaboration with artisan cooperatives who are paid fairly and work in safe conditions. Wool is sourced from local herds, and dyeing processes are eco-conscious and free from harmful chemicals.

According to Architectural Digest, Moroccan rugs have become a hallmark of high-end interior design because of their authenticity, sustainability, and artistic value.

Care Instructions

While this rug is durable, we recommend occasional professional cleaning to preserve the wool’s natural texture and color. Light vacuuming (without a beater bar) and occasional airing in sunlight can help keep the rug fresh. Because of its natural materials, slight shedding may occur initially.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean my Moroccan rug?

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.

Vacuum Regularly → Use a low setting without a beater bar to protect the fibers.
Blot Spills Immediately → Use a dry cloth for stains, gently dab with mild detergent and cold water.
Protect from Moisture → Avoid excessive humidity and use a rug pad to extend its lifespan.
Prevent Fading → Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
Rotate Every Few Months → Ensures even wear and longevity.
Fluff Maintain → If fibers flatten, gently brush with a soft-bristle brush.
Deep Clean → Opt for professional hand-washing every 5 years or as needed.
Sunbathe Monthly → If practical, let your rug in the sun occasionally. Sunlight's UV rays work as natural deodorizing and microbe protection.
◈ Avoid Harsh Chemicals → They can damage the natural wool fibers.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we are proud to ship our authentic Moroccan rugs to customers all over the world. We regularly ship to North America (USA & Canada), Europe, Australia, and many other destinations. If you have any questions about shipping to your specific location, please don't hesitate to contact us.

How long will my order take to arrive?

We ship via DHL Express or Aramex with FREE worldwide delivery, included at checkout. After placing your order, we typically require 2-3 days to process and dispatch your item. Expect your parcel to arrive within 6-15 business days, depending on your location. You will receive a tracking number via email as soon as your order is on its way.

Will I have to pay customs fees or import duties?

Due to recent U.S. tariff changes, imports from Morocco are subject to a 10% duty plus standard customs fees; however, under our Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) terms, we will take full responsibility for these import charges ourselves, so you won’t have to pay anything extra.

How do you package the rugs to make sure they arrive safely?

We guarantee that your rug will arrive safely and in excellent condition, having been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and, if necessary, restored prior to dispatch. We then fold it carefully and wrap it in multiple layers of durable, weather-resistant material to ensure it is fully protected from moisture and handling during its journey to you. We take every precaution to ensure your rug arrives in perfect condition. 

What is your return policy?

We want you to be completely happy with your purchase. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your rug, you may return it within 14 days of delivery.

To be eligible for a refund, the rug must be returned in its original, unused, and undamaged condition. Please note that for general returns, the customer is responsible for the full cost of the return shipping. We recommend using a trackable and insured shipping service.

Please remember that our rugs are handmade by artisans, not by machines. Slight variations in color, pattern, weave, and size are natural characteristics of these one-of-a-kind items. These charming imperfections are not considered defects but are part of the unique story and beauty of each piece.

Is Moroccan wool rugs durable and suitable for high-traffic areas?

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.

Do newly made wool Moroccan rugs shed?

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.

Will the rug I receive look exactly like the one in the photo?

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.

What are your rugs made of?

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.
