Handmade Orange Wool Berber Rug – Evil Eye Shag Rug, Boho Decor

Details

Bring warmth, culture and protection into your home with this handmade Moroccan Berber rug. Woven by skilled Berber women of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, Berber carpets are hand‑made using natural wool and have been central to Berber culture for thousands of years. Our rug is crafted with traditional techniques—pure, locally sourced wool is spun, dyed and knotted on a loom. The knowledge of weaving is passed down from mother to daughter, providing vital income for rural families.

Design & Symbolism

Protective eye motif: The bold eye in the centre serves as a talisman. In Berber culture, eye motifs ward off the evil eye and shield the owner from harm. Hidden symbols in the design carry deep spiritual meanings.

Warm orange palette: Vibrant warm colours and dynamic, asymmetrical motifs are characteristic of Marmoucha‑style rugs. The orange background creates a cheerful focal point, while a deep blue outline adds striking contrast.

Handwoven artistry: Because it’s woven by hand, no two rugs are identical. Imperfections and slight variations are part of the Wabi‑Sabi philosophy—these irregularities show the human touch and make each rug a one‑of‑a‑kind work of art.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Material: 100% natural wool sourced from local sheep provides a plush, shaggy texture and excellent durability. Pure wool carpets have been the hallmark of Berber craftsmanship for centuries.

Technique: Hand‑knotting on a traditional loom. Each knot is secured to give the rug a dense, high‑pile finish that feels luxurious underfoot.

Origin: Made in Morocco by Berber women artisans. Patterns often tell personal stories, symbolising life events and spiritual blessings.

Uses & Styling Ideas

Versatile sizing: Approx. 90 × 150 cm (about 3 × 5 ft). Use as an accent rug in your living room, bedroom, or reading nook. It also makes a stunning wall hanging or tapestry.

Bohemian & spiritual décor: Pair this rug with neutral furniture for a pop of colour, or mix it with other boho accents for a curated look. The protective eye motif adds a spiritual element to your space.

Great gift: This rug is a meaningful gift for housewarmings, weddings, birthdays or any occasion where you want to share protection and cultural heritage.

Care Instructions

Vacuum gently or shake outdoors to remove dust. Avoid beating or high‑suction vacuums, as this can damage the fibres.

Spot clean with mild soap and water; blot gently—do not rub. Let it air dry away from direct sunlight.

Because this rug is made of natural wool, occasional shedding is normal. Shedding will diminish with regular use and care.

Important Notes

Every rug is hand‑crafted and may have slight variations in colour and design. These irregularities are not flaws but hallmarks of authentic Berber art
