Product Description:
Beni Ourain rugs are known for being made in the north east of Morocco, not in the Ait Bougamez Valley. However, the heritage of many women in Imelghas is linked to the Beni Ourain tribe, through marriage for example, and is is why you'll see many Beni Ourain and Beni Ourain style rugs made by the cooperative. All rugs are handmade and naturally dyed by members of the Imelghas Women's Cooperative.
Size: 3m 6cm x 1m 86cm x 2cm

Brand Partner Bio
The Imelghas Women's Cooperative can be found in the village of Imghlaus in the Ait Bougamez valley, 190 kilometers from Marrakech. In 2011, the women of Imghlaus wanted to find ways to earn additional money out side of their daily work in the fields. Malika Aajijin, a leader with a eye for design, helped to organize the women to create the cooperative. The women decided that they would only succeed if they all worked together. Therefore, each sale the cooperative makes is distributed evenly amongst its members. While the cooperative focuses on multiple types of carpets, all of them are made from 100% natural wool and dyes.
