Measuring 5.8 × 2.3 ft (177 × 70 cm), it is perfectly proportioned for hallways, entryways, and other narrow spaces. Handwoven in the Ourika Valley of the Atlas Mountains, this rug reflects the bold patterns and rich heritage of the Ourika Berber tribe.

Natural Wool for Comfort and Durability
Made from 100% natural wool sourced from local sheep, this rug combines softness with resilience. Wool is naturally insulating, keeping floors warm in winter and cool in summer. It is also stain-resistant and long-lasting, making this rug suitable for daily use in high-traffic areas. The medium-high shaggy pile adds plush comfort while remaining easy to maintain.
Colorful Design with Symbolic Meaning
The design bursts with joyful energy. A creamy white background is adorned with vibrant red, green, golden yellow, and black motifs. The central pattern is floral and diamond-like, echoing the symbolic language of the Ourika tribe. These designs often represent protection, blessings, and fertility. The bold palette ensures the rug complements bohemian, eclectic, rustic, and even minimalist interiors.
Perfect Size for Versatile Styling
At 5.8 × 2.3 ft, this runner rug is ideal for long, narrow spaces. Use it to brighten hallways, add softness to a kitchen walkway, or create comfort beside a bed. It can also define a gallery wall or be layered over a larger neutral rug for contrast. Its light yet sturdy construction allows you to move and style it with ease.
Unique, One-of-a-Kind Character
Because each rug is handmade, no two are exactly alike. Small variations in weave, color, or pattern are signs of authenticity and artistry, not flaws. Each piece carries the time, touch, and creativity of the woman who made it. This uniqueness guarantees your rug is not just décor, but a collectible heirloom.
Sustainable and Ethical Choice
Purchasing this rug supports rural women artisans and sustains Morocco’s weaving traditions. Every sale contributes to the economic empowerment of Ourika families while preserving cultural heritage. Wool is a renewable, biodegradable material, making this rug both eco-friendly and ethical. Choosing this piece means embracing slow design and fair trade values.

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.

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.
