The authenticity of Beni Mrirt carpets

Each carpet is a work of art, where the precision of the gesture meets the nobility of the materials.
Beni Mrirt and Beni Ouarain: intertwined traditions
Beni Mrirt carpets are often confused with Beni Ouarain carpets.
This proximity is explained by history: these tribes, largely nomadic in the Middle Atlas, regularly exchanged their customs and weaving techniques.
Today, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish their creations, but one certainty remains: these carpets are among the most popular in the world.
A unique expertise
The warp (weft) is made using the kilim technique, ensuring tight stitches and exceptional strength.
On this base are tied, one by one, more or less long strands of wool, giving rise to carpets that are both robust, dense and elegant.
The Moroccan rugs signed Studio Lid are immediately recognized by the quality of their wool, their exceptional density and their incomparable longevity.
Beware of imitations
Faced with a growing demand, many resellers offer lighter copies, made with lower quality wool and reduced point density.
These carpets, although imbued with similar patterns, offer neither the durability, nor the comfort, nor the authenticity of genuine Beni Mrirt and Beni Ouarain rugs.
The importance of authenticity
Each carpet must be authenticated and its origin verified.
The quality of the wool, the density of the stitches and the ancestral know-how of the weavers are the guarantors of an exceptional carpet – a living heritage of Morocco, transmitted through time.
