We onboard intentionally — one cooperative at a time. Most artisans take three to five collaborations at once. When someone is full, you join their waitlist and they see the demand build. That is how we decide when to onboard the next person.

Wool weaving — Middle Atlas rugs

Fatima Ait Ali

Aït Hadiddou, Middle Atlas, Morocco

Cooperative verified

I have been weaving since I was twelve. My grandmother taught me, then her sister taught me the patterns my grandmother did not know. I work on a vertical loom in the room behind my house. Most rugs take me between six and ten weeks depending on the size and the knot density. I work in undyed wool from the village and dye the colour myself with madder, indigo, and walnut. I do not weave the same rug twice. If you collaborate with me, you will tell me what room it is for and I will weave you something only you have.

Leatherwork — bags and belts

Nour Benkirane

Medina, Fez, Morocco

Verified in person

My workshop is on the second floor of a building near Bab Boujloud. I cut and stitch goat leather by hand. I do not use a sewing machine. Most pieces I make are bags, satchels, and belts. I learned from my uncle, who learned from his father. I do not take more than four collaborations at a time because saddle stitching is slow and I am not willing to rush it. Tell me the size, what you carry, and how you want it to age, and I will tell you whether I am the right person for it.

Zellige and ceramic tile

Khalid El Fassi

Fez, Morocco

Cooperative verified

I am a maâlem of zellige. The tiles I make are cut from a fired clay tablet, by hand, with a hammer. The geometry comes before the colour. I am not the right person to collaborate with if you want something quickly — even a small panel takes weeks because every piece is shaped one at a time. I am the right person if you want a panel that nobody else in the world has.

Silver jewellery

Amina Ait Iaaza

Tiznit, Morocco

Cooperative verified

I make silver jewellery in the Soussi style. I work from a small workshop in Tiznit with two other women. The pieces I make are hammered and engraved by hand. I do not cast. If you collaborate with me on a piece, I will engrave the back with a date or a name if you want me to. I am happy to make something based on a piece in a family photograph. Send the photograph.

Beni Ourain rugs

Yacine Ouaziz

Beni Ourain, Middle Atlas, Morocco

Self-verified

I weave Beni Ourain rugs with my mother and my older sister. Cream wool with a dark diamond grid. We do this because everyone in our village does this and our wool is good. I joined Amussu three months ago. My profile is self-verified for now — a coordinator is supposed to visit us in the summer. If you want to collaborate, you should know my work is photographed but my reputation here is still new. That is honest.

Embroidery — Tarz of Fès

Latifa Bennani

Fez, Morocco

Verified in person

I embroider the Tarz of Fès — the silk-on-linen embroidery that goes on tablecloths, cuffs, and ceremonial cloths. The stitch is slow. A medium tablecloth takes me about a month. I am usually full for the months before Ramadan and Eid because that is when people collaborate on cloths for the table. Tell me what occasion you have in mind so I can plan around it.
