Boucherouite Rug

In the rural areas of the High Atlas, where sheep wool is rare, women artisans collect unused fabrics (nylon, cotton, synthetics, etc.) and then weave them together to create their rugs. Boucherouite means “rag” in Berber. An amazing contrast between the poverty of the material and the artistic richness of the finished rug. A recycling technique that goes far beyond the simple assembly of recycled fabrics, it is a worldwide craze that is created around the technique boucherouite.

The creativity of these rugs is limitless! The craftswomen weave without sketches, following their instinct. The Boucherouite rug is made in a spontaneous way. This is what gives each piece a sensitivity, authenticity and creativity without equal.

The Boucherouite rug quickly became a collector’s treasure. Some Berber rugs can be found in large art galleries.

The symbols, the mix of colors and the creative patterns of a Boucherouite rug bring a touch of cheerfulness in living rooms. It is also often presented as wall decoration to beautify the space.
