During a recent trip to Morocco, I met Alia the founder of Kantara. She was so passionate about the women that weave these intricate and beautiful rugs. So after I returned home, I decided to explore the site and make a purchase. I had no need of a new rug but I was inspired to make a purchase. When the rug arrived I was so pleased! It was more beautiful than it looked on the website and every time I walk into my kitchen, I'm happy just looking at it. Maybe I will get another rug I don't need because there is something very special about these Moroccan rugs!
I absolutely love this purple rug that Alia designed and had her artisans in Morocco make. It is plush on one side so that you can use the two sides for different seasons if desired.
I've wanted a runner in our bathroom since we completed its renovation in 2016 but the combination of needing an odd (narrow) size and being unwilling to sacrifice the design meant we've been rug-less all these years. That all changed the second I laid eyes on this rug (ironically while I was shopping for a different project entirely) and knew in an instant it was the one. When I first saw the design it stopped me in my tracks--it's exactly my taste! It wasn't until I saw the dimensions that I literally yelped with joy. The ideal dimensions, vibrant colors, and overall design could not be more perfect--it looks as if it were made for the space. As a designer, finding that last piece of the puzzle that make things feel meant to be for your own projects can feel like a lifelong journey...as silly as it may sound, this runner was truly worth the wait! I was so thrilled at the quick communication from Alia, beautiful packaging, and upgraded shipping to get it here in time for our massive holiday party celebration. Even my toddler commented to say she loved it (the toughest critic of them all)!! Looking forward to my next reason to purchase from Alia and Kantara in the future.
I love this rug. It works perfectly in our space. The process from selection (online) to ordering, shipment notification, shipment arrival was seamless.
So many beautiful rugs, feels like you’re walking into an art gallery! My rug sparks joy every time I see it
The rug is exactly as shown, but even better quality than we expected.
Thomas, so happy to hear it! That rug is super cozy-- hope it brightens up your space.
I knew my rug would look great but didn't know it would be so soft.
So excited to walk on it!
Kantara Rugs has so many beautiful pieces, each exquisitely chosen to offer a really special selection of collected gems . Absolutely love the one I purchased. It's truly unique and gorgeous. It was so hard to choose. Each is a work of art. The service was kind and so helpful.
As a designer it is my job to seek well made and beautiful things that fit a wide range of budgets. When I found Kantara I was very impressed. The quality, colors, price and service were impeccable. Ended up buying three rugs and will be back for other projects. I would be thrilled to have these in my own home and will soon!
So glad this worked out for your project :) It was a pleasure working with you and excited to continue collaborating in the future!
Our two rugs from Kantara are truly something special — they are stunning, the textures and dyes are even better in person, and Alia is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Thomas, I'm so glad you got these two rugs. They complement each other so well. I hope they liven up your space while keeping it cozy, all the while reminding you of our Morocco travels! x, Alia
Once again, Kantara did not disappoint. The selection of rugs is fantastic and the ordering is a breeze. Delivery is quick and as a result customers posses the purchase within days. The rugs are such a living environment enhancement. There are sizes and variety so varied that a customer may easily satisfy their rug desire. Kantara is a blessing with which to do business.
Kantara provides an avenue for home dwellers to add to or refresh living space with an opportunity to purchase handmade Moroccan Rugs. Not only is there a selection of rugs for a variety of individual taste, the process for review and purchase is phenomenal. The website is inviting and the purchase and follow through of receipt of goods is second to none. The one-of-a- kind rugs are delivered quickly and the description of the product is accurate. Consumers will not be disappointed. Also, a personal note courtesy of Alia Kate is included with the purchase, and therefore customers get a warm feeling as if a family member just sent a special gift!
Sal, thanks for all of your kind words! We're honored that you keep coming back to Kantara!
Super neat rug, great customer service, and lovely quality. 10/10 experience - thanks!
Great! So glad to hear that, Maddie!
This runner is so perfect in my home, and I really appreciate the history and the craftsmanship behind the piece. It's so beautiful!! Alia has the best eye for rugs. And bonus - shipping was SO fast!
Alexis, our pleasure :) So glad to hear the runner showed up fast! xx
I love my new rug f rom KANTARA and so does everyone who has seen it.
It's fabulous!
Laura, so happy to hear this! I'm glad the rug worked out for you! xx, Alia
I am beyond thrilled with my new rug from Kantara. I wanted a rug for my study and the color and sizes of the rugs on the website did not fit the space and color scheme of the room. I worked with Alia at Kantara who used photos of the room to help me design just the right rug for the area. The computer-generated designs she used made the process so easy as I could envision the rug in the space. Alia kept in touch so I knew when the rug would arrive and it looks even better than I'd hoped for. Highly recommend!

This rug is absolutely gorgeous and so so soft. Our 3-year-old can't stop rolling around on it and honestly, we don't blame her. The soft plush feels amazing underfoot. The little pops of blue and tan are gorgeous. We feel lucky to have this beautiful rug in our house!
Hunter,
That makes me so happy to hear! I think your 3-year-old is onto something... We should all normalize rolling around on rugs, especially ones that are as plush as this one :)

Rug arrived and was even more beautiful than the picture led us to believe.
Thomas,
That is often the case with the rugs -- they're always more stunning in person. But we're glad to hear that it's found a spot in your home!
best,
Alia
This is our second rug we’ve bought from Kantara. It’s a vintage piece in perfect condition and absolutely perfect for our space! As always, Alia gives great advice and is always so helpful.
I’m already thinking of a third rug! You can’t go wrong buying one these gorgeous creations that are works if art. Thank you so much Kantara!
Marsha
Marsha,
Thank you so much for all your support! I'm glad to hear this rug has found a home with you.
All my best,
Alia
it's so pretty and versatile easy to use in different spots - def would get another one!
Amanda, yes! Super versatile, very bi-coastal, we might even say :) I'm glad this one worked out for your space-- it's such a wonderful mix of vibrant and whimsical. I hope it infuses your space with the same qualities!
x, Alia
Alia took the time to select a rug with me out of their large collection. It took several attempts to find the right selection of beautiful rugs before I settled in this one. I love the vibrant colors and quality. Great addition to my cayenne couch and overall setting. I’ll be back for more.
Thank you Alia
Gunther, I'm so glad that rug worked out for you. Turns out it was the perfect match for the cayenne couch and well worth the wait! I can't wait to see photos of it in your space.
cheers, Alia
