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

The boucherouite rug cannot be machine washed.
Cleaning is only possible with vacuuming / whipping and using traditional methods with water and brown soap. Let it dry patiently in the sun.

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 AS THESE RUGS WERE NOT ORIGINALLY MADE FOR RETAIL THERE MAY BE SLIGHT WEAR AND REPAIRS.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.
