Fatima's Vibrant Vintage Beni M’Guild - Salam Hello

While this piece is sold out, don't hesitate to email us at hello@salamhello.com. We can work with the artisan to create a similar handcrafted piece just for you.

This rug comes from Fatima who resides in a village 20 km outside of Amizmiz which is based in the Al Haouz Province of Morocco.

Saida and her sister Khadijah have recently started a village association of women weavers to help their elder neighbors sell their beautifully handcrafted rugs.

This rug is roughly 70 years old and was woven by Fatima's family. Fatima is from the Middle Atlas Mountains where this rug style originated. Known for its seasonal versatility, this rug was originally flipped based on the temperature outside.

This vintage rug was made of 100% wool and dyed with only natural spices.

With simple geometric diamond shapes against bold colors these pieces radiate beauty.

You will find some light fraying on either end due the rug’s lifespan, but with proper care, this rug will endure for decades to come.
- Size: 200 cm x 300 cm
- Rug Technique: Vintage
- Pile: Low
- Materials: 100% live sheep’s wool. Organic local plants and spices for dyes.

This Province is home to the Boujad Tribe and the rugs crafted in this region take on the Tribe’s namesake.

Vintage

Our Vintage pieces were usually made by grandmas or great aunts and then passed down through generations. Even when a family runs out of room or decides to sell an old rug, they’re bound to bring beauty to their next home.

Most vintage rugs you will find in local Moroccan markets are purchased by male brokers, who visit neighboring villages and buy up all the pieces they can in one transaction.

Our process is different, as we work directly with the women selling these heirloom rug pieces. We visit their homes and neighborhoods to see the pieces in-person and negotiate face-to-face.

One telltale way to spot vintage rugs is by their odd shapes, as they may have been made to fit into old buildings, or specific spaces generations ago.
