Ourika Berber Rug 'Fall'

OURIKA My latest crush… Ourika rugs: the most beautiful, traditional wool Berber rugs with a colorful modern twist.

They are true works of art… This one has a unique color scheme of softer tones with browns, greens and oranges - perfect for coming fall. hand-knotted wool rug originated from the mind of a Berber lady, no fixed pattern is followed unique piece, there are no two in this world origin: Ourika typical feminine symbolism of diamonds ca 3m x 2m (exact size is mentioned on the picture) main colours: creamy white with colorful accents FAIR TRADE During my purchasing trips to Morocco I always look for beautiful, unique pieces that fit nicely within our concept. I work with trustworthy suppliers who provide work to hundreds of women in the mountain areas. And I bid along with the local merchants on the criée berbère of the carpet souks in the heart of Marrakech, skipping most intermediate channels! MAINTENANCE ADVICE Each rug is hand washed in Morocco before being shipped to Belgium. Rugs should be vacuumed regularly, and occasionally hung outside in the sunshine and fresh air to freshen them up and get rid of any loose dirt. We recommend only ever using mild soapy water to spot clean the rugs. Chemical cleaners and vintage textiles are definitely not friends - so keep cleaning simple and to the basics. HANDMADE Due to their handwoven and unique nature - irregularities in shape and colour can be expected, and are what add to their beauty, character and value.
