Pile knot rugs, or zrbya rugs in Ait Hamza, are plush warm rugs, and are one of the most popular carpets that the association weaves. The designs and color reflect the culture and nature that define Ait Hamza.

MEET THE MAKERS
AΓ―cha Bellahcen
A widowed woman and a mother of three sons, she also has a daughter suffering from a neurological disease that has left her unable to move. Despite her old age, the poor mother bears the burden of taking care of her daughter. Additionally, her grandson suffers from visual impairment. Due to her inability to work, she was forced to sell her products, making her an easy target for middlemen. Aunt Aisha is one of the respected women in the village who contributed significantly to the traditional industry. However, she faced exploitation, which led her to turn to the association to preserve her dignity and protect her products from exploitation.
