SOUK in the CITY
Boucherouite Rug - ochre | blue - 179/92
This one-of-a-kind "recycled" rug is full of vibrant colors and was hand-knotted with care. It is a unique piece and originated from the creative mind of a Berber lady. Made mainly from cotton, this boucherouite rug features pieces of recycled cut cotton clothing woven into the base. Measuring approximately 1.8m x 0.9m, it showcases a beautiful blend of mostly orange shades with pops of black, pink, and blue in a diamond pattern.
direct import
During my purchasing trips to Morocco, I always look for beautiful, unique pieces that can fit nicely into our concept.
I bid along with the local merchants on the criée berbère of the carpet souks in the heart of Marrakech, which means that most of the intermediate channels are skipped!
maintenance advice
This boucherouite rug is machine washable, but for best results, stick to vacuuming or beating and utilizing traditional methods with water and brown soap. And if you're feeling patient, let it bask in the sun to dry.
Because the boucherouite rug is vintage, there are to be expected some irregularities and signs of use and age. We think that this gives it that beautiful vintage character.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS RUG IS NOT MADE BY MACHINE. EACH PIECE IS A HANDMADE ITEM BY MOROCCAN ARTISANS, SO THERE MAY BE SLIGHT IMPERFECTIONS IN WEAVING, PATTERN, OR SHAPE. ALL VINTAGE OR OLDER ITEMS HAVE HAD A PREVIOUS LIFE. AS THESE RUGS WERE NOT ORIGINALLY MADE FOR RETAIL THERE MAY BE SLIGHT WEAR AND REPAIRS. WE DO NOT SEE THESE AS IMPERFECTION, BUT THE LOVE AND STORY BEHIND EACH PIECE.
