The term "boucherouite" comes from the Arabic ("bu sherwit") and means something like "a piece of old clothes". The name says it all: In the 1960s and 1970s, Moroccan nomads began - initially out of necessity - to recycle every form of available textile into carpets. Like the production of other Berber carpets, the Boucherouite carpets are made exclusively by women, whereby they follow almost no rules - neither in terms of material nor in terms of pattern. Essentially, the Boucherouite rug is a patchwork quilt: scraps and strips of older textiles, wool and gathered fibers are woven together to create something entirely new. A distinctive feature of these rugs is their vibrant, bright colors and the fact that no two are remotely alike.

A boucherouite is more a work of art than a rug and thanks to its complexity and multi-layered nature you will never tire of looking at it: it stands on its own and is an unrivaled eye-catcher in any environment - whether in the bedroom, living room, children's room or study.

Connoisseurs know: A high-quality, well-preserved vintage carpet is a sustainable investment because it increases in value over the years. Its age, origin and the fact that it is made by hand make it unique and set it apart from an industrially manufactured product as an original.
