Our Berber rugs are handmade in Morocco from sheep's wool. The whole process is 100% handmade and traditional. We work with over 300 weavers in the Atlas Mountains.
Much more than just a carpet, a Berber carpet is a work of art: hand-woven according to ancestral knowledge by the nomadic tribes of Morocco, it adds character to your home. It blends modernity and authenticity thanks to premium quality natural materials, and sober geometric patterns or shimmering colours. Moroccan rugs are loaded with symbolism: they often relate key elements in the life of the Berber weaver, conveying strong, positive messages.
The Berber carpet is a Moroccan carpet hand-woven by the women of the Atlas tribes. Each Berber tribe has developed its own unique know-how to create carpets that are like no other: Boucherouite, Azilal, Kilim, Boujad or Beni Ouarain, you'll find the very essence of this know-how in our Them online shop. Dive into the history of the Berber carpet with us. In pure wool, in recycled fabric, shaggy with long or short pile, white and black or coloured: the oriental carpet is seducing more and more fans thanks to its multiplicity. The traditional Berber carpet is the result of meticulous handwork by the people of North Africa. With its unique pile structure, it is of high quality, with strong strands that stand the test of time. Berber Moroccan rugs are extremely hard-wearing and easy to care for. The wool is dense, soft and comfortable.
If you want to buy a traditional Berber carpet, you need to choose a model that respects the ancestral techniques and know-how of the nomadic Moroccan tribes. Each tribe makes rugs that reflect the climate, the environment and their traditions. Choose between black and white Berber carpets or coloured Berber carpets:
Béni Ouarain rugs: handmade rugs from Morocco, they are made from very high quality natural wool. Generally white in colour, they are decorated with brown or black geometric motifs such as triangles or diamonds.
The Kilim rug: this oriental woven rug is made from pure sheep's wool. Its traditional design is based on looms that have been in use for almost 10,000 years.
Azilal rugs: these Moroccan woollen rugs originate in southern Morocco. These are light-coloured woollen carpets with a variety of colourful motifs, often representing strong symbols for the Berber tribe or weaver.
The Boucherouite carpet: this carpet is woven from textile fabric and is generally made from cotton, nylon or synthetic materials. It takes meticulous work by the weavers to produce a quality carpet.

A Berber rug is representative of the traditions of nomadic peoples, but it must also meet the requirements of its future (and happy) owners. A Berber rug is perfect for living rooms with plenty of space for all your family. Easy to care for, this ethnic decorative element is halfway between oriental and contemporary styles. There are Moroccan rugs to suit all tastes and sizes. Although the most traditional models are often longer than they are wide, they come in a wide range of sizes to meet the needs of modern interiors. A Boucherouite rug is chic and elegant, while a Beni Ouarain rug is more discreet. Azilal Berber rugs are renowned for their colourful designs. So you're spoilt for choice between a single-colour Berber carpet, one with a duality of colours (such as black and white) or one with brighter tones such as blue, pink or yellow. Office, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, living room: a Berber rug will enhance any room in your home.
The advantage of the Moroccan patterned rug is that it blends modernity and tradition to blend perfectly into our contemporary interiors while adding an authentic touch. Its design has its roots in North Africa: these nomadic Berber rugs give an original and captivating touch. They are timeless and timeless decorative elements. A Berber woman's rug can be very sober or very colourful. An Azilal Berber carpet is recognisable by its vivid patterns, while the Beni Ouarain models are simpler. But in all cases, they create a natural ambience to match any home. Both our shag and shaggy rugs are typical of Berber decoration, and will be delighted to bring them into your home. It would be a shame to miss out on these bewitching rugs, real works of art that increase in value over time!
