It's feeling like Spring here in Marrakech, and I hope where you are, too. Now Spring is all about new beginnings and that's certainly been the case for me. I have had a big shake up in my life but I am thinking that it is making room for new things...
As the daughter of a Persian mother, I grew up in houses filled with all sorts of high piled woolen rugs, intricately patterned silk carpets, and tightly woven antique kilims. When I was older and got married, my gift from my parents was a huge and fantastical carpet with curving arabesques and floral flourishes in lavender and black.
I often get asked what I mean when I refer to Moroccan “pile rugs” as opposed to “flat weave rugs” and so I thought I would give you a little primer and share some carpet beauty…
Because it's almost Summer, I bring you flowery carpets, I bring you colorful carpets, and I bring you lively carpets.....
Really.
Find all my beautiful hand picked stock at my shop, Red Thread Souk. Afordable, and, yes! payment plans possible.
