Purple Moroccan Runner Rug – A Handwoven Path of Color, Culture, and Craftsmanship
Bring color, culture, and craftsmanship into your space with this Purple Moroccan Runner Rug—a long, narrow handwoven wool textile ideal for hallways, kitchens, or narrow living areas. Carefully crafted by skilled women artisans in the Atlas Mountains, this rug merges ancient Moroccan tribal symbolism with modern design sensibility, offering a vibrant fusion of function and tradition.
The standout feature of this Purple Moroccan Runner Rug is its unique color palette. Soft gray, bold pink, rich orange, and gentle ivory tones are woven into traditional geometric shapes. These include tribal motifs like diamonds, X-shapes, triangles, and arch-like forms that represent protection, connection, and spirituality.
The gray wool base offers a calm canvas, while the brighter colors create balance and contrast. Each symbol is intentional, drawn from Amazigh (Berber) heritage and folklore. Together, the design tells a visual story of identity and legacy.
Learn how to choose the perfect hallway runner from Style by Emily Henderson, a leading authority in interior styling.
This runner features a symmetrical layout that draws the eye down its entire length. Repeating tribal motifs guide the viewer, giving a sense of continuity. The design naturally leads movement, making it perfect for hallways or transitional spaces.
Two bold, tower-like motifs—one in pink and the other in orange—anchor the rug visually. These are surrounded by scattered diamond clusters and delicate floral blocks, adding rhythm and life to the composition. A zigzag border in pink and orange surrounds the edges, echoing the protective symbolism of Berber design.
Made from 100% hand-spun wool, this Purple Moroccan Runner Rug is both soft and strong. Wool is naturally insulating, moisture-wicking, and dirt-resistant. Its low pile (0.4 in / 1 cm) makes it ideal for high-traffic areas like entryways and kitchen galleys.
The rug is comfortable underfoot and holds its shape beautifully. It's easy to maintain with occasional vacuuming and gentle spot cleaning using wool-safe products.
Each rug is hand-knotted by female artisans from the Boujad region in the Middle Atlas Mountains. Weaving here is more than a craft—it's a generational legacy. These artisans use traditional techniques passed from mother to daughter.
No two rugs are the same. Subtle differences in color, texture, and motif placement reflect the weaver's personal story and style. When you purchase a Moroccan runner rug, you're not just buying a home item—you're supporting cultural preservation and artisan livelihoods.
This runner (10.8 × 2.3 ft / 330 × 70 cm) fits beautifully in:

· Kitchen galleys for warmth and comfort
· Beside beds or reading nooks
· Entryways for an instant design statement
· Even as a bold textile wall piece
The rug suits various design styles—bohemian, eclectic, minimalist, or contemporary. It pairs well with natural materials like wood, jute, leather, or neutral-toned furniture.

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. 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.
