The Legacy of Moroccan Shag Rugs

Shag rugs from Morocco are world-renowned for their dense texture and artistic designs. They are traditionally woven by Berber women in the Atlas Mountains, who pass down skills from mother to daughter. The shaggy, high-pile texture was originally intended for warmth in mountain climates. Over time, these rugs became cultural icons, admired for both function and beauty.

Their bold designs tell stories of daily life, spirituality, and symbolism. Owning one means preserving a piece of Moroccan identity.

Handwoven Craftsmanship

Every Moroccan Collector Shag Rug is handwoven using 100% natural sheep wool. No two rugs are alike. Each knot reflects human creativity and patience. The process can take weeks or months depending on size and complexity.

Artisans spin wool by hand, dye it with natural pigments, and knot it tightly for durability. This meticulous process results in a rug that is both soft and resilient. Unlike machine-made alternatives, handwoven rugs carry soul and authenticity.

A Statement Rug for Modern Interiors

With dimensions of 9.7 x 6.5 ft, this shag rug makes a bold statement in any room. Its thick pile offers comfort while also serving as a visual centerpiece.

Place it in your living room to anchor a seating area. Use it under a bed for luxurious warmth. In an office or studio, it adds character and texture. Its versatility ensures it complements modern, bohemian, or traditional interiors.

Symbolism in Every Pattern

The unique motifs woven into the rug are more than decoration. They are symbolic expressions of Berber culture. Geometric shapes may represent fertility, protection, or harmony. Diamonds often signify femininity, while zigzag lines can symbolize water or journeys.

These patterns ensure your rug is not only decorative but meaningful. It carries hidden stories and cultural depth.

Why Collectors Value Moroccan Shag Rugs

Collector-grade Moroccan shag rugs are rare and highly prized. Their thick wool pile makes them comfortable, but it also contributes to longevity. With proper care, they last generations.

Over time, their colors soften, and the pile develops character, enhancing their vintage charm. Collectors and designers worldwide seek them for their authenticity and ability to blend seamlessly with multiple design styles. They are even showcased in publications like Create a space that reflects your unique personality with these bohemian decor tips.

Sustainable and Ethical Craft

Choosing a Moroccan Collector Shag Rug is also a sustainable decision. Wool is a renewable resource, naturally insulating and biodegradable. Many dyes come from plants, minerals, and roots, keeping the process eco-friendly.

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.

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.

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.
