A vintage Azilal with a personality all of its own.

Meet ZUMBA. One of those rugs that immediately catches your eye, even when surrounded by hundreds of others.

We came across this exceptional vintage piece at the criée in Marrakech, where rugs are brought in, unfolded, examined and traded. It was one of the more expensive pieces in our selection, but we simply couldn't leave it behind.

ZUMBA is a beautiful example of mixed Moroccan weaving techniques. A wonderfully textured wool base is combined with colourful details made from repurposed textiles, bringing together the character of a traditional Azilal rug and the playful creativity of Boucherouite weaving.

Look closely and you'll discover something different in every corner. An irregular arrangement of diamonds and smaller symbols, touches of fuchsia, turquoise, violet, mustard yellow and deep blue, all standing out against a warm, naturally aged ivory background.

The texture is just as interesting as the colours. Thick, slightly uneven wool, raised textile details and a wonderfully imperfect finish. Even the fringes have their own character.

This is a genuine vintage piece, showing the marks of time and handmade craftsmanship. Not perfectly straight, not perfectly symmetrical, and certainly not something you'll find twice.

At approximately 200 x 150 cm, ZUMBA works beautifully as a statement rug in a living room, beside a bed or in a creative space where it can really stand out.

A rare find, personally selected in Marrakech for our SOUK collection.

GOOD TO KNOW

As ZUMBA is an authentic vintage rug, irregularities in shape, weaving, colours and finish are part of its character. Small variations and traces of its previous life are to be expected and appreciated.

We recommend regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush, occasional airing and professional rug cleaning when needed.
