Socialite
THIS RUG'S STORY:
Socialite is a unique Beni Ourain kilim rug featuring accents of many colors. If you look close, you will see those hints of color are actually various pieces of recycled clothing garments cut up and woven into the rug. The back of the rug also features a beautiful striped woven pattern!
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 up to 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.
