The Legacy of Beni Mrirt Rugs
rugs are among the most sought-after Moroccan weavings. Known for their thick, high-pile wool, they embody comfort and artistry. Traditionally made by Berber women, these rugs were once created to provide warmth during mountain winters. Today, they are prized for their beauty, durability, and timeless aesthetic.
Designers frequently highlight rugs in interiors featured in publications like Uncover playful floor masterpieces in Studio Komplett’s colorful overlay carpets.
Authentic Shag Wool Craftsmanship
Every Beni Mrirt rug is handmade using traditional methods. Local artisans spin raw sheep wool, dye it with natural pigments, and knot it patiently. The weaving process can take weeks, with every knot reflecting dedication and artistry.

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.

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.

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.
