HERITAGE STAYS HOME
Not sure who should make your design? We advise on which region and group it belongs to — so Morocco's regions earn from their own heritage, not a copy made elsewhere.
YOU WATCH IT HAPPEN
Instant quote, the weavers confirm before you pay, then daily photos and messages from the loom until it ships. Remake-or-refund, guaranteed.
A RECENT COMMISSION
She found a rug she loved by Cooperative Timdokkals, but the width fell short of her living room. She commissioned it in her size, watched it come together on the loom, and this is it on her floor.
Every commission works this way: any piece an artisan has posted can be made to your size, your colors, your specifications.
The original — 6' 2" wide
Samantha's — made to 8' 2"
PRECISE TO THE YARN
Every yarn in the Fes atelier has a number in the color book. With the color annotator, you drop a numbered yarn directly onto a photo of the piece — before it's made, or while it's still on the loom.
The weavers see exactly which color goes where. Nothing gets lost between your screen and the loom.
FOLLOW THE LOOM
Your commission dashboard connects you directly to the weavers. They send progress photos and videos as your piece comes together; you reply with messages translated in real time.
Fine-tuning colors? Mark up progress photos with the color annotator while the piece is still on the loom, so it comes out exactly as you imagined.
A REAL DASHBOARD, OPEN TO VISIT

THE MATERIALS
Anou is committed to building the best supply chains in Morocco, starting with the AWSco mill in Aït Bouguemez. Every custom rug is made with yarns hand-sorted by artisans and spun at the zero-carbon mill — staffed by weavers from across the country — then dyed to order in Fes.
Fiber, spinning, dyeing, weaving: every step of your commission happens in artisan hands, and every step is paid at the source.
VETTED, IN PUBLIC
Every finished commission is independently measured at Anou's office in Fes. Size accuracy, pricing per m², and delivery record against quoted timelines are published live for all 26 cooperatives — so you can choose with real expectations, and groups with strong records can charge what their work is worth.
How to use it: artisans set their own prices, and higher-priced groups generally carry the strongest records for precision and timelines. Flexible on time and dimensions? A more affordable group may suit you. Need exact measurements on a deadline? Choose a group with a proven record.

THE ANOU COOPERATIVE GUARANTEE
If your commission doesn't come out as agreed, the Anou Cooperative will remake it or refund you in full. Timelines flex with the loom — the guarantee doesn't.
A commission does more than a purchase: every order builds the performance record that lets companies around the world place large orders with authentic artisans, confidently.
ANOU RESIDENCIES
Some pieces need more than photos — precise color tuning, relief work, fine detail. Spend 7–10 days with the artisans at Anou in Fes and make every decision in person, in real time. You leave with exactly what you wanted, and the story of making it.

Yes — upload a photo or sketch through any product page and the weavers will confirm what they can make. We only remake designs we have the right to: original works, traditional designs from their own regions, or pieces you own. If you are unsure, send it anyway and we will advise on the design and which region and group it belongs to.
If you start from a piece in the marketplace, the group that designed it makes it. If you bring your own design, we advise on which region and group it belongs to. Every group's accuracy, pricing, and delivery record is public — if you need precision on a timeline, choose a group with a strong record; if you are flexible, a more affordable group may suit you.
Artisans set their own prices, and there is no commission fee — the quote is instant and non-binding, and usually lands near the price of a comparable listed piece. Nothing is charged until the weavers confirm.
Every commission is backed by the Anou Cooperative guarantee: if your order doesn't come out as agreed, it will be remade or fully refunded.
