Preserving Culture and Promoting Style – How Bags Made of Rugs Are Doing It All!

When it comes to fashion accessories, shoulder bags are an essential item for both men and women. They provide a practical solution for carrying our daily essentials while adding a touch of style to our outfits.


Unique Style Statement

One of the main advantages of using a shoulder bag made of rugs is that it provides a unique style statement. Rugs are made of different materials and colors, making each bag one-of-a-kind. With a rug bag, you can add a pop of color and texture to your outfit, making it stand out. The rustic feel of the rug material adds a touch of authenticity and adds an edge to your overall look.

Oued Zem rugs are a type of traditional Moroccan rug that originated in the city of Oued Zem, which is located in the central part of the country.

Oued Zem rugs are woven by skilled artisans using a specific technique that is unique to this region. This method uses an asymmetric knot instead of two warp threads, which makes the rug finer and more detailed. Oued Zem rugs are known for their quality and durability due to their high level of skill and expertise.

Each rug is unique and reflects the individual style and creativity of the weaver.

This emphasis on craftsmanship and individuality is another factor that contributes to the uniqueness and value of Oued Zem rugs.

Durability

Rugs are made to withstand daily wear and tear, making them durable and long-lasting.

This durability also applies to shoulder bags made of rugs. They are robust and sturdy, unlike other materials that may wear out quickly or become damaged easily. This means that they will last longer and reduce the need to purchase new bags. Rug bags can carry a lot of weight, making them perfect for those who carry their laptops, books, and other essentials around with them.

Sustainability

As sustainability becomes an increasingly pressing issue, more and more people are looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact. One area where conscious consumers can make a difference is their choice of bags.

Rugs are a renewable resource when made from natural fibers extracted from cacti, wool, or cotton.


Preserving traditional crafts

The production of rugs is often made by skilled female artisans, who have mastered the art of rug weaving. They are done by hand using traditional techniques.

This means that the production process has a relatively low carbon footprint, compared to mass-produced synthetic materials. By repurposing these rugs into bags, we're extending the lifespan of an item that has already had a low environmental impact during its production.
