Boucherouite rugs are a riot of colour all jostling with exuberant patterns. During 1960‘s and 1970’s, the consequence of the development in Morocco's rural areas made wool ever rarer and expensive. The women in all the regions in Morocco started to create a new type of upcycled rug, that didn’t used wool. Typically made from a variety of recycled materials and textiles like recycled rag strips and yarns from a variety of textile remnants, old clothing, cotton, synthetic fibres, lurex, nylon and plastic from grain shipping bags as well as packaging material to create artistic rug.
