All of the rugs from Le Vieux are made from 100% live wool that was brushed, carded, and hand-spun by the women of the Association.

Flatweave

Flatweave rugs are thin, soft, strong and full of symbolism. They’re also called “hanbel” or “aknif” in Arabic. All of our flatweave/hanbel rugs are made in the south of Morocco, which produces the highest quality flatweaves.
