Purple Moroccan Rug – Handwoven Elegance for Modern Interiors
Add a touch of tribal elegance to your home with our Purple Moroccan Rug. Measuring 11.4 x 5.5 ft (346 x 170 cm), this handcrafted rug blends vibrant shades with centuries-old designs. Each piece carries rich cultural meaning, making it both a functional floor covering and a piece of history.
The Legacy of Moroccan Rugs
For centuries, Moroccan rugs have been prized for their craftsmanship. Hand-knotted from natural sheep wool, they are both durable and expressive. The Moroccan Rug draws inspiration from the Beni M’Guild tribe of the Middle Atlas Mountains. These tribes are known for bold patterns, deep colors, and meaningful symbolism.
Unlike factory-made rugs, no two handwoven Moroccan rugs are identical. Every stitch reflects the artisan’s creativity and heritage. This uniqueness adds character and authenticity to your living space.
Why Choose a Purple Moroccan Rug?
Color plays a central role in Moroccan weaving. The purple tones symbolize both creativity and spirituality. Combined with geometric motifs, they create a rug that enhances any room.
-
Warm Aesthetics: Deep purple shades add richness to interiors.
-
Cultural Value: A rug woven with generations of knowledge.
-
Durability: Pure wool ensures long-lasting quality.
-
Versatility: Works in living rooms, bedrooms, and even office spaces.
With proper care, this rug becomes more beautiful as it ages, much like a piece of fine art.
Dimensions and Practical Details
This rug measures 11.4 x 5.5 ft (346 x 170 cm). Its size makes it suitable for medium to large spaces. The low pile height of 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) allows easy cleaning while maintaining warmth and comfort underfoot.
Whether placed under a coffee table or used as a centerpiece, the rug adds balance and harmony to interiors.
Handmade Craftsmanship
Every Moroccan Rug is a hand-knotted piece of art. The weaving process can take months, requiring precision and dedication. Artisans use traditional looms and dyeing techniques, often relying on natural plant-based dyes.
This authenticity connects you to the centuries-old heritage of Morocco. Owning such a rug means supporting artisans who keep these cultural practices alive.

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.
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.
