Moroccan rugs

When you enter the doors of the souk the words of this old fairy tale will come to live. The many little streets, all of which twisted and turned will open up a magical world of traditional craftsmanship before your eyes. There is a reason why Morocco is every designers wet dream. With arched doorways, painted alleys, precious rugs and detailed patterns, the country’s decorative arts are mind-blowing.

When visiting be prepared to become fascinated by the world of carpets. The skills behind these traditional rugs are learned by apprenticeship and through decades of tribal knowledge passed down within families and communities. There are around forty-five different tribal groups, each of which has distinctive designs and sometimes varying weaving and embroidery styles.

A bit of background on Moroccan rugs. The majority you’ll find in shops are made by one of the forty-five distinct Moroccan Berber tribes in the country. Each one has a unique style and every rug is handmade on a loom. It’s most often done by women in their free time. Rugs can take anywhere from 10 days to 6 months to make depending on size, complexity and how much time she has. Rugs first and foremost are used in homes or for celebrations. They then are sold as goods or traded.

For our surf berber rug collection we work together with 2 different cooperatives located in Khemisset, Morocco. They each have there own style and do an amazing job bringing our creations to life. You can say that each rug takes about 3-4 weeks to be weaved.

Our designs are unique on these type of berber rugs, we bring a beach and surf soul to traditional Moroccan crafts. Made with love and a passion for the ocean, created by tribal knowledge and brought to your home to enjoy with family and friends.

Our goal is to create new beach rugs every 2 months. Contact us if you like to order our existing designs in different size and or colors.
