What Makes a Moroccan Rug Truly Authentic?

In a world full of factory imitations, knowing how to spot an authentic Moroccan rug is essential. Here’s what sets a real handmade piece apart:

  1. Hand-knotted craftsmanship using traditional wooden looms

  2. 100% sheep wool — natural, soft, and durable

  3. Imperfections are beauty — no two rugs are exactly the same

  4. Symbolic Berber motifs like diamonds, zig-zags, and trees

  5. Made by Moroccan women, not mass-produced in factories

When you choose a Bohemia Marrakech rug, you’re not just buying decor — you’re owning a cultural treasure with centuries of tradition behind it.
