Le Vieux Village's Protective Flatweave - 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 Flatweave rug was handwoven by the artisans of Le Vieux Village, a beautiful collective of women artisans just outside of Tazenakht.

This association is a true family affair. Mlouka, the matriarch of the collective, has passed the art of weaving down to her daughters, Naima and Fatima, daughters-in-law, Latifa and Meriem, cousins, and villagers. All of the rugs from Le Vieux are made from 100% live wool that was brushed, carded, and spun by the women of the association.

This Flatweave rug is thin, soft, strong and full of symbolism. For example the repeated diamonds throughout the rug represent an evil eye which is thought to symbolize protection in the Amazigh culture.
