Fatima's Magical Vintage Boucherouite - Salam Hello

While this piece is sold out, don't hesitate to email us at hello@salamhello.com. We can work with the artisan to create a similar handcrafted piece just for you.

This rug was woven by Fatima who resides in a village 20 km outside of Amizmiz which is based in the Al Haouz Province of Morocco.

Saida and her sister have recently started a village association of women weavers to help their elder neighbors sell their beautifully handcrafted rugs.

Fatima lives in a neighboring village and made this vintage Boucherouite (pronounced boo-shay-reet) decades ago. This Boucherouite is made of recycled yarn and wool.

This timeless piece represents generations of tradition and symbolism. For example the symbols in the middle represents a spider which symbolizes fertility and magic in the Amazigh culture.

These rugs were not originally intended to be sold as they were mostly used in the weavers’ own homes.

Boucherouite

This rug technique is called Boucherouite (pronounced boo-shay-reet). These pieces are made from yarn, recycled clothing, or even textile scraps. Boucherouite rugs are often used in weavers’ own homes. In fact, this style of rug wasn’t traditionally sold but their vibrant, playful nature has made them popular.
