Boujad Runner – BABETTE | ca. 290 × 84 cm
Pink lovers, meet BABETTE!
Creamy wool, bold fuchsia pink, deep burgundy, rusty brown and little touches of black. All brought together in a wonderfully playful Boujad runner.
What we particularly love about BABETTE is the contrast in her design. One side is mostly natural cream wool with little geometric symbols, while the other is filled with bright pink and irregular patterns. The large burgundy diamond running through the middle ties everything together.
And that thick, soft wool pile? Such lovely quality!

A LITTLE ABOUT BOUJAD RUGS
Boujad rugs originate from central Morocco and are loved for their colourful, expressive designs.
Traditionally woven by Amazigh women, they often feature unusual geometric motifs, unexpected colour combinations and wonderfully irregular details.
BABETTE combines traditional diamond shapes with a fresh, playful use of pink. Her asymmetrical design gives her an almost contemporary feel, while the thick wool and little imperfections remind us that she's entirely handmade.
FOUND AT THE MARRAKECH CRIÉE
BABETTE came with a little surprise!
She was originally woven as part of a custom order, together with BUBBA, our colourful little Boujad rug.
Unfortunately, the original customer couldn't complete the purchase, so both pieces ended up at the Marrakech criée, where we discovered them during our October 2026 sourcing trip.
Two beautiful rugs, made to complement each other, but each with a completely different personality.
We couldn't leave either one behind!
BABETTE & BUBBA
BABETTE is a lovely runner for a hallway, beside a bed or wherever you want to add a little colour to a narrow space.
Her creamy background keeps things balanced, while those fabulous pink tones do all the talking.
And if you're looking for a matching little rug, have a look at BUBBA. The two were originally made together and share the same lovely wool quality.
Sold separately, beautiful together.
THE BEAUTY OF HANDMADE
BABETTE is individually handmade from 100% sheep's wool.
Small irregularities in the pattern, variations in pile height and slightly uneven edges are part of her handmade character.
Please allow for small variations in measurements. Colours may appear slightly different depending on your screen and lighting.
One of a kind. A little unexpected. And wonderfully pink!
