When I was in Morocco earlier this month, my favorite thing to do was to get lost in the rug souks. Carpets spilled out the doors and were stacked in technicolor columns, catching the eye with their orange and gold patterns, their peach and juniper shades, their traditional prints and busy weaves. My fingers itched to buy 12 on the spot and worry about how to fit them into my suitcase after—I wanted every inch of my house covered in these rugs. And knowing how pricey these same rugs are back in the States, the in-house prices were almost too good to pass up. But thanks to places like Etsy, I scaled back a little and held onto my self control (though I did buy a small area rug, because I only have so much strength).
I've been researching Moroccan and Turkish rugs for over a year now, trying to hunt down the perfect ones for my living room and bedroom without blowing a hole in my budget. Because of this (sort of) patient hunt, I have found a handful of shops that sell their vintage treasures at almost the same price that stores in Marrakesh and Fez do—meaning we can bring the beauty of Morocco into our houses without having to eat bread and beans for a month to compensate for it. Check out some of the shops below!
