Rubi
THIS RUG'S STORY:
Rubi is a bold red rug from the Ait Bou Ichaouen tribe. This rug was likely used as a saddle or cushion cover, but would be the perrfect size for a small bathroom rug! The Ait Bou Ichaouen tribe no longer weaves rugs, and their creations are becoming harder to find.
ABOUT MOROCCAN RUGS:
Each vintage Moroccan rug is hand woven and knotted by Berber women of the tribal region specified. This level of craftsmanship can take weeks or months to complete a single rug. Weaving techniques have been passed down through the generations. The patterns, designs, and colors in each rug vary with each rug, weaver, and tribe – so each piece is truly a unique work of art and 2 pieces will never be the same. Often these rugs have been handed down through the families who created them, and have been uncovered from the mountain and rural areas of Morocco.
