Its blend of traditional weaving techniques with a modern abstract design creates a rug that is both timeless and contemporary.

Handwoven by Skilled Moroccan Women Artisans

This Beni Mrirt wool rug is created using centuries-old weaving methods practiced by women in remote mountain villages. These artisans pass down their skills generation after generation, creating rugs that are not just floor coverings but cultural stories woven in wool.

The hand-knotting process ensures a durable rug with unique irregularities, reflecting its handmade origin and authentic character.

While rooted in tradition, the design of this rug is strikingly modern. Its geometric patterns and abstract motifs create a dynamic visual rhythm. Neutral tones mixed with bold contrasts add depth without overwhelming your decor.

This rug fits perfectly in contemporary, bohemian, eclectic, or modern rustic interiors that value cultural richness and design innovation.


Premium Natural Wool for Comfort and Durability

Made with 100% natural wool, this Beni Mrirt wool rug offers a soft yet resilient texture. Wool is prized for its elasticity, warmth, and ability to withstand heavy foot traffic. It naturally resists stains and dirt, making it practical for high-use areas.

Wool’s natural insulating properties also help maintain cozy indoor temperatures throughout the year.

Its manageable size allows easy placement while making a significant style impact.


Versatile Styling Possibilities

This Beni Mrirt rug pairs well with diverse decor styles:

  • Pair with neutral furniture for a minimalist vibe.

  • Add layered textures for boho or eclectic interiors.

  • Contrast with industrial elements like metal and concrete.

  • Complement natural wood tones in rustic or farmhouse settings.

Its neutral and earthy color palette offers flexibility to suit evolving styles.


Support Ethical and Sustainable Craftsmanship

Buying this Beni Mrirt wool rug supports fair wages and ethical labor for Moroccan artisans. The wool is sustainably sourced, and natural dyes are often used, minimizing environmental impact.

Sustainable home decor is more important than ever, and choosing artisan rugs is a step toward mindful consumption.

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?

For US-customers, there is no customs fees (due to An agreement that went into effect on January 1, 2006, designed to create open and fair trade between the United States and Morocco.) For other international orders shipped outside of Morocco, please be aware that your country's customs office may impose import duties, taxes, or fees. These potential charges are the responsibility of the customer. Customs policies vary widely by country, so we recommend contacting your local customs office for specific information on potential duties before placing your order.

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.
