Collection: MRIRT COLLECTION
Mrirt rugs are a type of Moroccan rug that are handwoven by the Berber people who live in the Mrirt region of Morocco. These rugs are known for their geometric designs and bold, bright colors. They are typically made from wool and can be quite thick and heavy.
Mrirt rugs are traditionally made on a vertical loom and are woven using a combination of knotting and flatweave techniques. The wool used to make these rugs is locally sourced and can come from a variety of different sheep breeds, including the black-coated, hardy breed known as the Beni Ourain.

One of the most distinctive features of Mrirt rugs is their use of asymmetrical designs and patterns. The motifs used in these rugs are often inspired by the natural world, with symbols representing elements like the sun, the moon, and the stars.
