Beni Ouarain, Berber Carpets - Zamzam Boutique Marrakech

Its time to get blogging, its been a while.  I have been so busy with Morocco Retreats.  2014 brings 8 retreats to the programme each one set in a special place in Morocco.  As well as being retreats they take you on a magical journey to the most amazing places.

Secondly an exciting new website is being done for the Zamzam Boutique and we will be sharing even more goodies with you for sale.  I have been sourcing wonderful Moroccan textiles and vintage Berber Carpets in preparation and wanted to share with you some of the pieces that will be in the shop.

The most exciting piece I have found is this Beni Ouarain blanket with wonderful hand embroidery over 3 meters of it.  In 8 years of living here i have never seen one, its really beautiful.

I also found some nice little Azilals this is just one of them.  These are made in the high Atlas and are more light weight than the Beni Ouarain carpets.

This Ancient Beni is hugely exciting for me not only is it very old and almost like velvet but I love the unusual design in dark chocolate and the pretty kilim ends - its about 3 x 2m

A small but very lush Beni Ouarain with super soft wool.

The Boucherouite rag rugs are suddenly so popular and we have a few very pretty ones coming online as well as some stunning Handira or Berber wedding blankets.
