Unpacking has never been such fun. There is something very earthy about Moroccan carpets, which is possibly what attracts me to them generally, and especially those made by the Berber tribes from the Ait Ouaouzguite region in the High Atlas. Most of my collection are Tazenakhts – the carpet capital of this region – known for their interesting borders and stylized central motif. The new sheep wool ones are from Mrirt in the Middle Atlas. Enjoy!
Welcome to Arastan
A curated collection of rare and beautiful products from mystical lands and exotic bazaars on the ancient silk route and beyond.
In desert souks and tribal villages; at ancient ruins and chance encounters; we've handpicked treasures that are authentic, exquisite and masterful. From gorgeous handmade carpets to striking objets d'art and fascinating tribal jewellery, each piece is a collectible with a story.
