Berber craft in every stitch

Unlike flat-woven or knotted wool rugs, the leather Boucharouite offers depth and density. Each strip is inserted by hand, creating a textured, almost three-dimensional surface. This uncommon rug type captures the creativity and manual mastery of Moroccan artisans.

Tradition that endures

The Boucharouite technique originated from Berber women repurposing leftover fabric. This modern version using leather preserves the same spirit of resourcefulness and self-expression. Every rug tells a story of transmission and reinvention.

Natural wool, pure texture

In this case, leather replaces wool — but the commitment to local, natural material remains. The soft leather comes from offcuts collected in Moroccan leather workshops. Each piece is woven strip by strip, without any industrial treatment.

Designed just for you

You can order this rug in different sizes or with more spacing and density between strips. Custom colors or finishing variations are possible. It’s perfect beside the bed, under a low table, or even hung on a wall. Each detail can be adapted to your space.
