Heritage Craft, Reimagined. Complimentary Global Shipping. Free Trade Certified.
We count the time it takes to make our rugs in months. Our highly trained team is obsessive about quality, excellence and treating our employees like family. A Beni rug is made at our state-of-the-art Studio outside of Marrakech, in fair-trade certified conditions, using heritage quality wool. It undergoes a top secret washing process that lends our rugs a sheen, softness and quality unlike anything else we've found. Our designs are developed in-house either by our team or in partnership with leading design world figures. Taken together, these elements create a rug unlike any other, destined for homes unlike any other.
Great question! We are proud to be the first vertically integrated rug company in Morocco - meaning that we own and operate our own weaving and washing facilities. Doing so allows us to pay our weaving team 2 - 4x the national average, provide a beautiful working environment, and create the highest quality rugs imaginable.
We do not. Our website is our flagship store, designed to welcome you and share our vision of handcrafted rugs. Unfortunately, other sites and sellers frequently copy our designs and even use our photos to sell their rugs. Our website is the only place to buy one of our original designs or one of our collaboration styles, woven with the highest quality materials in fair-trade certified working conditions. Our color palettes are the result of years of research and fine tuning, and are not available anywhere else.
Beni Rugs are made the very highest quality, 100% live wool available. The wool is locally and humanely sourced in Morocco. We partner with a 3rd generation wool expert to create custom colors that are only available through our website.
The answer comes down to our people, our process, and our materials. Each Beni rug begins with heritage quality wool dyed in exclusive color palettes. Our weaving team is compensated at 2 - 4x the national average, works in a beautiful environment, and benefits from free transport and childcare. The Beni Studio is a fair trade facility in which every detail of every rug is obsessed over. Our state of the art washing facility creates rugs with an extraordinary texture and finish. We believe in doing things the slow way, the right way, and with the upmost respect for our team.
Beni Rugs are made from 100% natural wool . All natural fiber rugs will shed slightly, especially in the beginning. Don't worry! Nothing is wrong with your rug. It's simply the nature of the material and the construction. That being said, we put our rugs through a very intensive washing and drying process (sometimes up to 5 times per rug) to eliminate as much shedding as possible before shipment. Regular vacuuming in the first couple of weeks will help to quickly reduce shedding.
Please follow our care instructions to ensure a long life for your new heirloom. If anything does go awry, please drop us a line at bonjour@benirugs.com and we'll make it right.

In a word, no. Each rug is made entirely by hand in fair trade certified ateliers from 100% live wool. This means that natural, beautiful variations are part of the charm of a rug woven by hand - in a word of mass produced products, we value these differences as the true markers of luxury.
After weeks of weaving, our rugs are washed and hung to dry under the desert sun, which means the colors can fade slightly.
Final sizing can also vary by 4% due to the handmade nature of the product.
All Beni rugs are perfectly imperfect, which is part of what makes each one so special—it was made just for you.

We craft our rugs to last - these are objects that are meant to live with you. The durability of a rug doesn't have to do with the amount of traffic it endures, but rather how often you clean it. Dirt that accumulates in a rug can shred the fibers, which causes the rug to degenerate over time. With regular cleaning, Beni rugs can (and do) last for decades.
Clean your rug on a weekly basis with a canister vacuum side to side (not end-to-end) with the beater bar on the highest setting. Request a detailed care guide by emailing us at bonjour@benirugs.com.
If you need to spot clean your rug, do so with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Wool naturally repels liquids at first contact so treat it quickly with a dry cloth and follow up with water and detergent and your rug should be fine.
After a few years (or more serious soiling), we recommend having your rug professionally cleaned. Look for a quality professional cleaner in your part of the world to help reinvigorate your Beni rug. We have recommendations in LA and NYC - just drop us a line to bonjour@benirugs.com for an introduction to our preferred partners.
