The designs made by the association are rooted in the long weaving history of the region. Many of these rugs, known as Taznakht rugs, are made distinct by bright reds and yellows, colors that represent the landscape in which the rugs were made. These bohemian style rugs have a contemporary feel while incorporating traditional Moroccan designs.

MEET THE MAKERS
Samira Oubrka
Samira was born in Tadula Zanfi in the early 90’s. She attended school until the sixth grade. She learned how to weave from her mother but has continued to improve and diversify her skills in weaving and embroidery at her association. She hopes that through the association she will be able to continue developing her skills so she and her family can live a peaceful, stable life.
