About June + Blue
While living in Casablanca, my favorite escape from the face-paced city was finding little neighborhood souks to wonder around and look for treasures. My curiosity and love of design turned into a true passion for Moroccan culture, the people, and the stories told through these textiles. In 2017 I began curating my first collection, focusing on high quality pieces that hold value and unique history, while also adding charm to their new homes. I believe a good rug can elevate a space in a way nothing else can, and consider this in curating each collection.
I travel all over Morocco to source one-of-a-kind beauties that you just won’t find in a souk. With a market that is flooded with reproductions, I am passionate about finding authentic, interesting pieces that will not only hold their value, but last a lifetime. Amazigh weaving techniques have been passed down through generations, with symbols that combine deeply rooted traditions and the personal expression of the woman who made it. Each rug holds a small yet profound piece of Moroccan history that will only appreciate with time.
I thoughtfully hand select every June + Blue textile, inspecting each piece for quality. While most vintage rugs show signs of wear, these imperfections are marks of character and authenticity. Each piece must also meet a standard of structure and integrity to ensure that you will enjoy them for many years to come. Anything of note is included in the listing. All rugs are cleaned, and any repairs needed are done by local Moroccan artisans before exporting. Please don’t hesitate to ask for more details on a specific rug.
Above all else, I'm here to help you find your perfect rug. I love nothing more than the hunt, and if we can't find it, we can work together to create something that fits your needs (and dreams!) with my bespoke service.
