Moroccan Rug, Handmade Indigo Beni Ourain Wool

$39.60 $99.00

This Moroccan Rug brings the calm of indigo and cream into any room it touches — a hand-knotted area rug built around a striped zigzag design that feels at once contemporary and timeless. Each piece is woven entirely by hand by Amazigh (Berber) women in the El Abbassi family workshops in Morocco's Rabat-Salé region, carrying forward a craft handed quietly from mother to daughter for generations. The design belongs to the M'rirt branch of the Middle Atlas weaving tradition: jagged indigo pinstripes split by a diagonal break across a soft ivory field. It is knotted at a medium-to-high density, which gives the pile a springy, dense feel underfoot and a subtle sheen that shifts as the light moves through the room. We weave this rug from 100% live sheep's wool, coloured with organic dyes drawn from local plants and spices. The natural lanolin still held in the fibre makes the wool quietly stain-resistant and remarkably hard-wearing, so a rug made this way is one you keep for decades rather than seasons. Both short ends finish in hand-braided ivory tassels. Styling it is easy. In indigo and cream the rug settles happily into Scandinavian, coastal and minimalist rooms — lay it under a pale linen sofa in the living room, run it along a bright hallway, or let it cool a sunlit bedroom. Nothing else in the space has to change around it. This piece is shown here in a 5x8 ft size, and it can also be woven to your own measurements if your room calls for a different footprint. Care is simple: vacuum gently without a beater bar, rotate it occasionally so it wears evenly, and blot any spills straight away with a damp cloth. Every order ships free, worldwide and fully tracked, included in the price. A made-to-order rug like this is woven in 15–20 days, after which standard shipping takes 7–14 business days to reach you.

Every rug is made by hand in the El Abbassi family workshops in Morocco's Rabat-Salé region. See how our rugs are made
