Introducing The Aghilas, a stunning, high-pile shag rug that honors traditional Moroccan craftsmanship while showcasing a bold abstract geometric design. This rug is produced directly by our cooperative of experienced Amazigh weavers in the Atlas Mountains, guaranteeing authenticity and meticulous quality.

The pattern features a sophisticated abstract geometric design in rich, earthy olive green against a field of soft, natural beige wool. Its luxurious high pile offers unparalleled softness underfoot, making it the perfect centerpiece for a cozy living room, bedroom, or stylish office.

Craftsmanship & Cooperative Heritage: Woven by Our Hands

The creation of The Aghilas is a time-honored journey managed entirely by our weaving cooperative. This is not just a rug; it is a piece of wearable art imbued with the spirit of the Amazigh weaving tradition, passed down through generations and supported directly by our collective of producers.

The entire process is performed entirely by our cooperative members, ensuring fair wages and the preservation of ancestral wisdom:

• Wool Preparation: The journey begins with 100% natural wool sheared from local sheep raised by our community members. The raw wool is then meticulously hand-washed in mountain streams, carded, and spun into strong yarn using traditional drop spindles, all within the cooperative.

• Natural Dyeing: The distinctive olive green hue is achieved through small-batch, natural dyeing processes performed by cooperative members using local plant and mineral pigments. This slow method ensures the colors are rich, deep, and will age beautifully over time.

• Hand-Knotting: Our skilled weavers set up the yarn on a simple vertical loom and use the centuries-old Berber knot technique. Every single knot of the high-pile shag is tied individually by hand, row after row, guided by intuition and personal artistic expression, ensuring no two rugs are perfectly identical—a true testament to handmade quality.

• Finishing: Once off the loom, the rug is washed again, dried under the Moroccan sun, and carefully hand-sheared to achieve its signature luxurious pile height.

When you purchase The Aghilas, you are acquiring a timeless heirloom and directly supporting the economic empowerment and preservation of this ancient craft within our cooperative structure.
