Moroccan rugs known as "boujads" are distinguished by their vivid colors and strong, geometric designs. The Berber women of the Boujad region in Morocco's Middle Atlas Mountains are the ones who customarily weave them.
Boujad rugs are renowned for their excellent craftsmanship and robustness. The rugs are woven using a double-knot technique that produces a dense and densely woven fabric, and the wool is usually hand-spun and hand-dyed. Because of this, Boujad carpets have a long lifespan and are highly resistant to deterioration.

Boujaad rugs are handwoven pile rugs made using natural wool fibers and vegetable dyes. Newly woven rugs will show solid and vibrant colors, typically reds, oranges, pinks, and purples. At the same time, older vintage rugs may have lovely washed pastel tones.
The Boujaad rug comes from the Haouz region of Morocco, an area in the middle Atlas Mountains. As with all rugs, the boujaad rug represents the weaver, where her story is expressed in rich geometric patterns and varying colors, often pinks, reds, and purples. These rugs are increasingly rare and difficult to find, as their popularity has soared in recent years.
A beautifully characterful and authentic vintage rug full of life and personality, combining a rainbow array of colors in a finely balanced grid of little diamond motifs. Woven in pure and silky hand-spun wool on a thick cotton base (made of used textiles), it's a lovely personal piece.
Traditionally handwoven by women from soft, natural wool, Boujaad rugs tend to feature bright red, pinks, mauve, or orange backgrounds and irregular geometric patterns that reflect the marriage of the Arab and Berber cultures in Morocco.
