Handloomed with Moroccan wool by a talented all female team of artisans, this shag rug is super-plush and super-soft. Zephyrine offers the best of both worlds: rich saturated warm tones fading into a soft and neutral edge. Our very first rug and definitely one of our favorites (don't tell the others!) Zephyrine is one of those pieces that just speak for themselves. Plush art underfoot. We work in partnership with talented Moroccan weavers to bring you the very best quality of traditional rugs merged with modern designs. Our wool is sourced from shepherds in rural Morocco and hand dyed with low impact dyes. The purchase of this rug supports female artisans and their families in Rabat, Morocco, and helps preserve the age old culture and tradition of rug making.

We supply them with high-quality materials and tools so that they are able to practice their craft to the absolute best of their abilities. We cultivate an environment centered on professional development and self care, setting aside time each week for both. RESPONSIBLE SUPPLY CHAIN: At every step of our supply chain, we purchase from responsible and ethical suppliers.Our wool is sourced from rural shepherds, then hand-dyed using low-impact dyes before being woven into a beautiful, one-of-a-kind rug. We believe in supporting small businesses, the heart of the world economy. No huge suppliers or harsh chemicals, it’s just that simple. PRESERVING TRADITIONS:Women are the bearers of the Moroccan weaving tradition and each woman, family, and region upholds distinct styles and techniques, honed over hundreds of years. Though the recent design trend in vintage Moroccan rugs shines a very well deserved light on their unique beauty, vintage on its own does little to support artisans who are alive and weaving today. Buying contemporary creates financial incentive for the weavers to preserve their craft and pass cultural knowledge on to their children, thus protecting the weaving tradition for generations to come.
