Q1.How long does it take to weave a full carpet?
Each carpet is a hand made piece of art. Made usually by local women, it takes around 20-50 days to complete the carpet, depending on its size. Each rug is hand-woven and the design is always completely original - no two are ever the same. A truly unique piece of work.
Q2.Where do carpet collections come from?
We support local families that have been weaving carpets through generations. Moroccan carpets vary in patterns, depending on which area and tribe the carpet is coming from. We partnered with local families across Morocco, The High Atlas Mountains, southeast and Saharan tribes. Our handpicked selection of local carpet markets in Marrakech Medina holds a wide range of carpet collections from the north of Morocco to the south Sahara regions.
