Taznakht Runner Rug
Taznakht Runner Rug
Traditional weaving from the Taznakht region of Morocco. Located in the ancestral village where zanafis rugs were first made, Association Timouzounin is starting to bring this ancient tradition back to life in order to create economic security for their village. This particular piece is a classic example of a Taznakht rug, complete with bold red, and orange colors against a grey ground and asymmetrical patterns.

Morocco is plagued by unfair labor compensation. Middlemen in major markets profit from the hard work of those in rural areas. Moroccan artisans are paid a meagre 4% of an average sale online or in local markets. The Anou Cooperative is a platform that creates new market opportunities for Moroccan artisans. Peregrin has partnered with Anou to import these products directly from their artisan suppliers in order to provide greater access to the American shopper. Through this, the artisans set their own prices, ensuring fair compensation for their work.
