A little colour, a lot of wool and plenty of personality.

Meet LOLA, our latest colourful beauty from the OURIKA BRIGHT collection.

With her wonderfully thick, creamy wool and a playful arrangement of colourful diamonds, LOLA is one of those rugs that manages to be both soft and striking at the same time.

Bright pink, turquoise, cobalt blue, emerald green, orange and little touches of purple come together in a series of almost jewel-like motifs, connected by delicate, slightly wandering lines.

And we particularly love how none of those lines are perfectly straight.

The chunky wool pile, the little variations in texture, the irregular patterns and the hand-finished fringes give LOLA that beautiful, unmistakably handmade character.

Nothing overly polished. Just a lovely, honest piece of Moroccan craftsmanship.

A late-night discovery in Marrakech

LOLA comes from our OURIKA BRIGHT collection, sourced through a special contact in the Ourika mountains.

Thanks to our dear Ahmed, we've been introduced to a supplier who brings his latest rugs down from the mountains to Marrakech.

And he has a rather particular sense of timing.

Usually, he arrives late in the evening, when the criée has finished, the crowds have disappeared and the souk is practically closed.

That's when the rugs come out.

One after another, they're unrolled across the floor, and we start selecting our favourites. Although, as you might have guessed by now, we're not particularly good at leaving beautiful rugs behind.

LOLA made the selection without much discussion.

We've even been invited to visit the village next time we're in Morocco. And yes, that's already something we're looking forward to!

Soft enough to sink into, colourful enough to stand out

What makes LOLA so easy to love is that lovely balance between her calm, natural wool background and the playful bursts of colour.

She works beautifully in a relaxed living room, underneath a low wooden coffee table, alongside vintage furniture or in a bedroom that could use a little extra warmth.

And don't be afraid to mix her with other colours, patterns and textures.

LOLA is definitely not the kind of rug that needs everything around her to match.

A wonderfully cosy Moroccan rug, with just the right amount of happy chaos.

GOOD TO KNOW

LOLA is a one-of-a-kind, handmade Moroccan rug.

Slight irregularities in shape, weaving, pattern and pile height are perfectly normal and part of what makes each piece unique.

The dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly.

For everyday care, vacuum gently without a rotating brush. Professional rug cleaning is recommended.

Personally selected in Marrakech during our October 2026 sourcing trip.
