Marrakech Expo 2013

The Expo is filled with artisans from Marrakech and Fes, selling products in as vast an array as the medina.  Of course my eye is constantly drawn to the rug vendors.  Flatweaves, hand knotted, sheep and camel wool, leather, antique, new production... there is something for everyone here.  The Moroccan culture is portrayed in each piece through the unique design and vibrant colors.  Quality is also extremely apparent.

 Such vibrant colors and design in this flatweave from Rabat

This color is called 'Red of Morocco'
