Latfia & Naima’s Rose-Colored Flatweave

Description

This Flatweave washandwoven by sister-in-laws, Latifa & Naima.

Latifa & Naima belong to theAssociation Le Vieux Village, a beautiful collective of women artisans just outside of Tazenakht.

This association is a true family affair. Mlouka, the matriarch of the collective, has passed the art of weaving down to her daughters, Naima and Fatima, daughters-in-law, Latifa and Meriem, cousins, and villagers. All of the rugs from Le Vieux are made from 100% “live” wool that was brushed, carded, and spun by the women of the association.

The design motifs are embroidered into the rug which brings a modern adaption to a rug that represents thousands of years of artistic tradition.
