About Us
About Us: The Story of Berber Creations
Our Roots & Authentic Identity
Founded by Oumaima Bahou, Berber Creations is a dedicated artisanal house specializing in custom, authentic Moroccan rugs. We are not sourcers or middle-men; we are direct producers.
Every single piece we offer is a unique masterwork, hand-knotted by our talented women artisans in our private workshop located in Mrirt Village (Khenifra Province), nestled in the heart of the Middle Atlas Mountains. By blending ancient tribal heritage with modern aesthetics like Quiet Luxury and Japandi design, we bring timeless soul into contemporary homes worldwide.
Direct Production: From Workshop Looms to Your Home
At Berber Creations, we passionately oversee every single step of the traditional hand-knotted production cycle in our private atelier:
Premium Raw Materials: We personally select and purchase high-quality, organic local wool in bulk, ensuring the rich texture and durability that defines a true heirloom rug.
True Hand-Knotted Craftsmanship: Moving away from mass-produced or hand-tufted alternatives, our rugs are meticulously hand-knotted on traditional vertical looms by master artisans who have inherited this sacred craft over generations.
Natural Washing & Abrash Character: We use traditional washing techniques that allow the wool to reveal its unique, natural color variations—the beautiful “Abrash” effect that is the hallmark of authentic, hand-spun wool.
Rigorous Quality Control: Every bespoke design and custom order undergoes a final, meticulous personal inspection by Oumaima Bahou before being securely dispatched from Morocco to our international clientele.
Our Fair Trade Commitment & Social Impact
We stand firmly for ethical production, transparency, and fair trade principles. By running our own weaver training school for women artisans in the Khenifra region, Berber Creations provides sustainable, fair wages and empowers the local community. Your investment does not just decorate a room—it preserves a centuries-old heritage and directly supports the women who weave their stories into every thread.

Oumaima – Founder of Berber Creations
“I am Oumaima, and I hail from a quaint Berber village in the heart of Morocco. My fascination with Berber rugs traces back to my childhood, where I was fortunate to glean a wealth of knowledge from my grandmother and mother. This encompassed everything from the intricate symbolism, knotting techniques, to the art of the tanning process.
At Berber Creations, my foremost objective is to empower and uplift small women artisans. I’m deeply committed to fostering their businesses and enhancing their ability to secure their livelihoods. It is my firm belief that these artisans deserve the recognition and appreciation they often do not receive. Concurrently, I am dedicated to offering you a collection of exquisite and extraordinary goods that will undoubtedly infuse your living spaces with a distinct and unparalleled charm”
