Round raffia rug - Mahareta

Round rug with a diameter of 200 cm in raffia, hand-woven by Mahareta from the Rouge Beauté association.

A model interweaving undyed natural raffia with tones of plum and brown.

Each rug is unique!

Each craftswoman imagines her rug and the colors that will make it up. She dyes the raffia herself. Once the raffia is dried, she creates a long braid, which she continues by adding strands of raffia and wrapping this braid around itself as she goes.

This is why the rugs are round.

It takes almost 3 weeks to make a carpet 2 meters in diameter.
