Beni Ourain carpets were originally used as the floors of the tents of the Berber tribes of Beni Ourain, in the mountainous area of ​​the Middle Atlas in Morocco. While some tribes moved to the plains, others still live in the Atlas Mountains and live by raising sheep.

They are made with soft sheep’s wool, which over the centuries has made them the best solution for sleeping and covering up from the harsh winters of the Atlas. Rare colored ones.

Each carpet is a unique piece, made according to ancient techniques handed down from generation to generation.
