1. What exactly is a “Moroccan rug”?
When we speak of a Moroccan rug, we’re talking about rugs crafted in Morocco, most often by Berber tribes in the Atlas Mountains, using natural wool, traditional looms, and age-old patterns. At the Ettilux Home collection, you’ll find handmade rugs created with real artisan care and custom-made options. Ettilux Home
