Ouarzazate's Story 

Often confused with Beni Ouarain due to similar pattern technqiques, Beni M’rirt carpets are the softest and must plush of all of our inventory. The yarn of the Beni M’rirt rugs is thinner than that of Beni Ouarain rugs, yet is woven much more densely, which results in a very soft carpet, begging you to sink your toes into it.

Beni M’rirt rugs are hand woven by the Berbers in the Atlas Mountains. These rugs are composed of wool that has been densely knotted. They are created on a loom, packed tightly with a metal comb, which produces their incredibly silk texture. 

Each of our rugs has been cleaned prior to shipping and are ready for use in your home.

We strive to capture our products with the most accurate coloring, but please note that slight variations are possible based variable conditions and screen display. We happily provide additional images if requested.

Caring for your handwoven Moroccan rug

We recommend cleaning your rug by hanging it outdoors where feasible, and shaking out any collected dirt or dust. If using a vacuum, we reccomend a gentle cycle, avoiding rotating bristles and suction attachments, which can damage the fibers of the rug.

Spot treatment is safest with water only, never apply commercial cleaning products to your rug. Many of our rugs are composed of wool fibers, washing in a standard washing machine will cause damage. We recommend profesional cleaning if needed.

Rugs that are exposed to sunlight will fade over time, so we recommend rotating your rug every few months. Rotating also helps distribute even wear and tear. Many of our rugs are woven with high fibrous materials, which can shed. This is normal, and will diminish over time.
