Gafsa Blue Handwoven Wool Rug

A family business in the Berber region of Matmata, Abdallah was one of the first people we reached out to when we started The Wee Souk in 2021.  After liaising with his niece via a Tunisian Artisans Facebook group, I received an abundance of images of the most beautiful 'margoum'.  Made using wool, the patterns reflect the Berber culture of the women makers.  Abdallah travels around the South of Tunisia, visiting small villages with big reputations for the best carpets in the region.
