This dreamy Hanbel was handwoven by Mbarka.

Mbarka was one of the first artisans we ever worked with and through the years we've grown closer and closer to her and her extended family. While Mbarka usually works with her daughter-in-law, Khadija, she wove this piece alone many years ago.This rug style is called Hanbel. It’s woven with 100% 'live' sheep’s wool. The majority of the rug is made up of natural, undyed wool. The loom was set-up with a combination of saffron-dyed wool, undyed wool as well as cotton which has created an ombre of colors for the rugs tassels.

The variation of color throughout the weave makes this one-of-a-kind Hanbel absolute cozy addition to any home.

Made By

Khadija and Mbarka

Mbarka and Khadija were the first artisans we ever worked with and through the years they have become our extended family. Residing just outside the old Village of Tazenakht, this mother-daughter duo has been weaving together for decades. They both specialize in the intricate hanbel technique and, depending on how big the rug is, they will enlist the help of their neighbors, cousins, or siblings to help complete the piece.
