Elevate the feel of your hallway, kitchen, or narrow living space with the unmatched comfort and elegance of a Shaggy Beni Mrirt Runner Rug. Handwoven in the Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco, this plush, elongated rug offers a modern take on traditional Berber craftsmanship. Known for its dense pile, intricate patterns, and velvety softness underfoot, this runner is the perfect blend of luxury and cultural heritage.
What Makes the Shaggy Beni Mrirt Runner Rug Special?
Beni Mrirt rugs are among the most luxurious Moroccan rugs available today. Woven from high-grade wool and featuring a rich, high-pile shag texture, these rugs are prized for their warmth, comfort, and aesthetic sophistication. When shaped as a runner, the Shaggy Beni Mrirt Rug becomes a versatile design element, ideal for spaces that are often overlooked — such as hallways, staircases, and galley kitchens.
Unlike standard machine-made runners, each piece is handcrafted by skilled Berber artisans using traditional hand-knotting techniques, resulting in a piece that is not only visually stunning but also incredibly durable and unique.
Plush Texture for Elevated Comfort
What sets a Shaggy Beni Mrirt Runner Rug apart is its luxuriously deep wool pile. Thicker than most Moroccan rugs, the shaggy texture brings a sense of coziness and indulgence to your home. This makes it perfect for:
-
Hallways and corridors that need both warmth and visual impact
-
Bedside areas where you want a soft step first thing in the morning
-
Narrow living spaces or offices where comfort meets style
The rug’s soft texture also helps absorb sound, reduce echo in narrow spaces, and adds insulation underfoot — making it as practical as it is beautiful.
Elegant Berber Patterns with Modern Appeal
Each Shaggy Beni Mrirt Runner Rug features subtle, hand-drawn geometric designs woven directly into the pile. You might see diamonds, lozenges, or abstract linear motifs — all of which are traditional Berber symbols meant to represent protection, balance, and life.
The color palette tends to be neutral and sophisticated, including creamy ivories, warm taupes, soft grays, or even striking black-on-white contrast. These timeless tones allow the rug to blend effortlessly into contemporary, bohemian, minimalist, or rustic interiors.
Handwoven Quality & Artisan Heritage
Crafted from 100% natural wool, each rug is painstakingly hand-knotted by Berber women in the Mrirt region. This level of craftsmanship ensures longevity, texture, and quality that machine-made rugs simply can’t match. Slight variations in the weave or color are not flaws but part of the story and charm of an authentic, handmade product.
Buying a Shaggy Beni Mrirt Runner Rug also means supporting sustainable, ethical craftsmanship. Your purchase helps sustain traditional weaving communities while bringing ethically made luxury into your home.
A Statement Piece in Any Space
Although it’s a runner, this rug commands attention. Its plush pile and detailed design make it an elegant statement piece that transforms transitional areas into inviting, styled spaces. Whether placed in a hallway, beside a bed, or down the center of a narrow room, it elevates the look and feel instantly.
For added stability and longevity, pair it with a rug pad to protect your floors and enhance underfoot comfort.

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.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we are proud to ship our authentic Moroccan rugs to customers all over the world. We regularly ship to North America (USA & Canada), Europe, Australia, and many other destinations. If you have any questions about shipping to your specific location, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Expect your parcel to arrive within 6-15 business days, depending on your location. You will receive a tracking number via email as soon as your order is on its way.
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.
What is your return policy?

To be eligible for a refund, the rug must be returned in its original, unused, and undamaged condition. Please note that for general returns, the customer is responsible for the full cost of the return shipping. We recommend using a trackable and insured shipping service.
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.
