This flatweave rug (huduna) is a one-sided flatweave mixed with patterned fringes. This bohemian style type of carpet can be worn by women on special occasions in the village such as weddings. People also use them as bed coverings or home decoration. The complex patterns in these carpets mean they take a longer time to make.

MEET THE MAKERS

Handmade by 2 members of Cooperative Nahda

Naima Mehboub

Naima Mehboub was born just a few kilometers outside of Oued Ifrane. She is married to a day laborer who works in agriculture and construction. Naima and her husband currently have three boys and one girl. Many women in the village know her as a fun person and super easy going – characteristics of a great weaving partner. Naima is currently studying basic math, reading and writing at classes provided by a local association.

Fatima Gourami

Fatima was born in Oued Ifrane and has lived in the village for most of her life. Despite the passing of her husband, she has survived and thrived because of her warm personality and incredibly positive outlook on life. Fatima is an integral member of Association Nahda because she is not only willing to try new things, but she is also willing to teach what she has learned to the other members.
