Zahra’s Varied Boxed Runner

Description

This rug will handwoven by a skilled collective of artisans from a village just outside Beni M’rirt, nestled in Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains.

Led by Soukina, the group includes 35 women who have been weaving together since the early 2000s, when Soukina’s late mother first founded the atelier. Specializing in medium-to-high hand-knot techniques—a tradition deeply rooted in the region—their rugs are known for their exceptional density and velvety texture.

Made from 100% “live” wool and dyed using natural methods by a third-generation family of dye artisans, this rug has been finished with a symmetrical cut of the pile, resulting in a low, dense texture that softens the surface while preserving the weight and durability of the weave.
