A little runner with a lot of personality.

Meet POPPY, our colourful wool runner from the OURIKA BRIGHT collection.

With her wonderfully thick, creamy wool and a cheerful row of colourful diamonds running down the centre, POPPY is exactly the kind of rug that makes an ordinary hallway a little more interesting.

The colours are a happy mix of hot pink, turquoise, bright blue, orange, green and little touches of brown, with playful geometric details dancing along both sides.

What we love most is how wonderfully unpolished everything feels. The diamonds aren't perfectly symmetrical, the lines wander a little and the thick wool has that gorgeous, slightly irregular texture you only get with handmade pieces.

A late-night find in Marrakech

POPPY comes from a collection sourced through our dear Ahmed and a contact from the Ourika mountains.

He brings his latest rugs down to Marrakech in the evening, usually once the criée has finished and the souk is almost deserted.

That's when the rugs are unrolled, one after another, and we start choosing our favourites.

POPPY was an easy yes.

And there's something rather lovely about the fact that we've already been invited to visit the village ourselves on our next trip.

Small space, big difference

At approximately 80 × 260 cm, POPPY is a lovely choice for hallways, beside a bed, in a dressing room or in one of those narrow spaces that could use a little colour and warmth.

Her cream background keeps things light, while the colourful details bring just enough playfulness.

And with that wonderfully chunky wool pile, she's not just pretty to look at.

A soft landing for your feet, with a happy dose of Moroccan colour.

GOOD TO KNOW

POPPY is an individually handmade rug. Slight variations in shape, pattern, texture and pile height are part of her artisanal character.

Dimensions are approximate. We recommend gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush and professional rug cleaning when needed.

For use in a hallway or on smooth flooring, a non-slip rug underlay is recommended.

Personally selected in Marrakech during our October 2026 sourcing trip.
