SOUK in the CITY
Azilal MIX Kilim Rug 150/86
NEW style AZILAL
A brand new addition to the collection… Colorful, traditionally woven kelim rugs with a modern twist of a tufted pattern.
The base is always colorful and striped, with a contrasting irregular, (mostly) colorful pattern that is unique every time and partly tufted through the kelim. They are true works of art…
Available in small sizes (which are super cute for the baby room, for example).
- hand-woven ànd knotted wool rug
- originated from the mind of a Berber lady, irregular: no fixed pattern is followed
- unique piece, there are no two in this world
- origin: Azilal
- ca 1m50 x 1m0
FAIR TRADE
During my purchasing trips to Morocco I always look for beautiful, unique pieces that fit nicely within our concept. I work with trustworthy suppliers who provide work to hundreds of women in the mountain areas. And I bid with the local merchants on the criée berbère of the carpet souks in the heart of Marrakech, skipping most intermediate channels!
MAINTENANCE ADVICE
Each rug is hand washed and (if necessary) repaired in Morocco before being shipped to Belgium. Any restorations were done by hand by skilled artisans in the traditional methods and with materials to best suit its origins.
Rugs should be vacuumed regularly, and occasionally hung outside in the sunshine and fresh air to freshen them up and get rid of any loose dirt. We recommend only ever using mild soapy water to spot clean your carpet. Chemical cleaners and vintage textiles are definitely not friends - so keep cleaning simple and to the basics.
If your rug is in need of a deeper clean due to spills or wear, contact a professional rug cleaning service in your area.
HANDMADE
Due to their handwoven and unique nature - irregularities in shape and colour can be expected, and are what add to their beauty, character and value.
