OUR STORY
Welcome to the enchanting world of Berber rugs, where passion for art and deep cultural roots come together. Christine, hailing from Belgium with a Master's degree in Fine Arts, and Saïd, a proud Berber Amazigh, form an unbeatable duo celebrating the beauty of ethnic art and craftsmanship. With an eye for detail and authenticity, Christine places great importance on the symbolism of ethnic objects, artworks, and expressions. Guided by these values, she carefully selects the items offered. Thanks to her partner Saïd, she gains access to hidden, authentic places that tourists cannot reach. Saïd's deep roots in his Berber culture bring immeasurable value to their collection. Each rug is chosen with love and precision, with some even handcrafted by their own family members.
La Source begins with Itto, Saïd’s mother, whose weaving inspired the very first pieces. Today, Christine's artistic expertise ensures clients receive thoughtful guidance in colour, shape, and style, while staying true to the cultural heritage behind every creation. Through Saïd’s deep roots and trusted connections, they gain access to remote villages and weaving communities that tourists never reach. Many of the rugs are created by their own family members, using techniques passed down for generations. For more than 15 years, their collaboration has honoured true craftsmanship, from shearing the sheep to washing, spinning, dyeing, and weaving the wool.
