Fatima & Mina lead the design of this beautiful Kilim style rug. The Kilim style originates from the Mid-Atlas region. These two artisans spent two months weaving this intricate rug. In this textile, the geometric pattern mimics the architectural style you will find all over Morocco.

The women used 100% live sheep’s wool to weave this piece, and they soaked the yarn over multiple days to create these deep hues. The red color comes from henna and pomegranate, while the warmer accent colors come from saffron, and the white and black is natural, undyed wool.

Kilim

The Kilim technique originates from Tifelt, a northern Moroccan town renowned for its rich Amazigh weaving traditions.

Typically crafted from 100% sheep's wool and silk, this intricate, labyrinth-like method demands high skill and precision, with designs created through a meticulous system of counting.

The motifs often reflect themes of protection, nature, and daily life, with each weaver adding their own touch. Lightweight yet durable, these hanbels offer a blend of practicality and artistic beauty.
