This Glaoui runner was woven by Latifa.
Latifa belongs to a beautiful collective of women artisans just outside of Tazenakht.
This rug style is known as Glaoui. It is an extremely technical weave and took Latifa four weeks to complete. The Glaoui style incorporates three techniques: Hand-weaving, hand-knotting and hand-embroidery.
Woven with 100% live sheep’s wool and the colors are created with natural vegetables and spice blends - ingredients like henna, pomegranate skin, saffron, indigo, walnut shells and mint to name a few.
The size of this rug is unique and versatile as you can use it as a runner or cut the runner into two matching rugs.
