The story
An antique Amazigh carpet woven in pure camel wool. The deep browns and soft sands are the camel's own colours, with no dye at all. Only the golden frame was coloured, with pomegranate skin, the fruit of abundance and new life.
The stepped diamonds are symbols of protection. Camels carried Amazigh families across the desert for generations, and that endurance and warmth is woven into every knot.
