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 Hanbel was woven by the artisans of Association Le Vieux Village.

This beautiful collective of women artisans reside just outside of Tazenakht. Fatima, pictured, is one of the senior members of the collective.

This style is called Hanbel. It’s woven with sheep’s wool from the local market. The colors are created with natural ingredients like henna, pomegranate, saffron, indigo, alfalfa and mint.

While the majority of the weave is flat, the designs have a slightly higher pile, giving this piece texture and dimension.

Every design element comes entirely from the artisan’s imagination - the symbols within this rug depict protection from evil, strength, beauty and respect just to name a few.
- Size: 203 cm x 293 cm
- Rug Technique: Intricate Hanbel
- Pile: Flat
- Materials: 100% live sheep’s wool. Organic local plants and spices for dyes.

Made By

Le Vieux Village Association

The Association Le Vieux Village is 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 hand-spun by the women of the Association.

Rug Style

Intricate Hanbel

This style is thought to originate from the area in and around the Village of Tazenakht, an area rich with a weaving history. While the majority of this weave is flat, the design accents are either embroidered or have a slightly higher pile, giving this piece texture and dimension. Every design element comes entirely from the artisan’s imagination. The design elements within this technique tend to depict an array of symbolism in the Amazigh culture.
