This rug comes from a village outside Kalaat M'Gouna where two women, Touda and Naima, worked together to make this vintage Boucherouite.

Kalaat M'Gouna which is in the southeast of Morocco is most known for its valley of roses, and they have a well-known rose festival every May.

This weaving style is called Boucherouite.

Boucherouite (pronounced boo-shay-reet) rugs were not originally intended to be sold as they were mostly used by the Amazigh in their own homes, as modest carpets. Some called them 'rag rugs' as they are made of various recycled pre-used clothing or textile scraps.

The design motifs most used in this rug have been passed down through generations representing strength and protection in the Amazigh culture.
