PRODUCT ID

#6750

Despite its modern chic appeal, the Boucharef carpet is woven into traditional Atlas Mountain culture. When poorer families were low in supplies during a cold winter, they washed and tore up old clothing to furnish their homes. Fortunately today, the carpet carries on in tradition rather than in necessity.

MEET THE MAKERS

Handmade by 2 members of Cooperative Nahda

Fatima Hafsi

Fatima Hafsi was born in 1969 in Oued Ifrane. She is married and has two daughters. She has recently joined the association but has known weaving for a long time, learning it from her mother. She attended school until the third grade in primary school only. From her experience, she wishes to teach the young girls who are dropping out of school nowadays how to weave in order to give them purpose but also to pursue the transmission of her craft and make sure it doesn’t disappear.

Hafida Hafsi

Hafida was born in 1979 in Oued Ifrane where she has lived her whole life. She is not married and has attended school through her second year of college. She is the treasurer of the association's sister, and learned weaving from her family members. She wants to create new designs for her carpets, creating new motifs that unique and original.
