Handmade Moroccan Carpets
Salam Alaykum!
Welcome to the Ayour website, where you can view, order, or commission a handmade Moroccan carpet.
These are wool, pile carpets, woven by women in the Souss Valley of Morocco. This nonprofit site is a direct link to their organization, so any purchase made here bypasses the middleman - ensuring that all profits go directly to the women and the community that produced them!
The site is currently under construction; for questions, orders and other inquiries, please email ayour.textiles@gmail.com .

About our name
In Tashelheet, the dialect of the Souss region of Morocco, the word ayour means moon. The women who weave the carpets you see here chose the name for its beauty and importance to their culture.
A crescent moon is the symbol of Islam, which also uses a lunar calendar. The name also reflects a connection to the ebbs and flows of the natural world, which inspires many of the carpets' designs.
