This rug was handwoven by Keltouma and the artisans of the M'rirt association.

Keltouma and her daughter Soukina lead this group of 25 artisans from a Village just outside Beni M’rirt, in the Middle Atlas Mountains. Founded in the early 2000s, the collective makes medium to high hand-knot rugs, as well as M’rirt Zanafi rugs, a style named after the region. Traditional rugs from this region use a thick knotting technique, which makes the rugs feel extra plush.

Made up of 100% wool, this wool is dyed using a unique dyeing technique. Utilizing a blend of florals & spices the women dyed the wool in bunches which allows for the variation of tangerine hues. 

This style has been modernized by incorporating unique recessed Flatweave lines around the checkered motif which creates a mesmerizing dimension to the rug.
