Cactus Silk Moroccan Rug – Ethical Elegance and Berber Symbolism
Why Choose a Cactus Silk Moroccan Rug?
The Cactus Silk Moroccan Rug, also called Sabra, is a unique handwoven textile that embodies the artistry of Berber craftsmanship. Made from plant fibers, it offers the luxurious sheen of silk while remaining vegan and eco-friendly. Measuring 4.1 × 2.8 ft (125 × 88 cm), this rug is ideal for smaller spaces, hallways, or layering with other rugs for a bohemian look.
More than décor, it carries symbolic motifs and traditional patterns that reflect Morocco’s cultural heritage.
Handwoven Heritage from the Atlas Mountains
Each cactus silk rug is handcrafted by Berber women in the Atlas Mountains. The weaving techniques used have been passed down for centuries, ensuring authenticity and cultural continuity.
Every rug tells a story. The symbolic motifs—often geometric or tribal—represent protection, fertility, nature, and spiritual harmony. This makes each Sabra rug not only functional but also deeply meaningful.
What Makes Cactus Silk Special?
Cactus silk, derived from the agave plant, is also known as vegan silk. Its lustrous fibers are spun into threads that mimic the softness and shine of traditional silk.
Unlike synthetic fabrics, cactus silk is natural, durable, and biodegradable. It is dyed with natural pigments, often in earthy tones or soft pastels, which gives each rug a serene, organic beauty.
A Touch of Bohemian Elegance
The Cactus Silk Rug is a favorite among designers for its bohemian charm. Its soft texture and subtle sheen make it a versatile addition to modern, rustic, or eclectic interiors.
The natural colors—creams, whites, browns, or muted pinks—blend effortlessly into many spaces. The patterns add artistic depth without overwhelming the room, making it an elegant accent piece.
Perfect Size for Versatile Styling
At 4.1 × 2.8 ft, this rug is compact yet impactful. It can be used as a hallway runner, a decorative rug in a reading nook, or layered with larger rugs for added texture.
Its size also makes it practical for apartments or smaller rooms where you want to add artisanal character without crowding the space.

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.
