The trade that crossed generations
Four generations. One trade. From Moulay Abdesalam's first stall in the Souk des Tapis to your door, worldwide.
Moulay Abdesalam did not sell rugs. He selected them. That distinction is everything.
The family, four generations on
The souk that started everything
In 1962, Moulay Abdesalam opened a small stall in the Souk des Tapis, Marrakech's oldest rug market, tucked behind the Djemaa el-Fna. He did not buy in bulk. He chose every rug himself, often travelling into the Atlas Mountains to see the weavers' work first-hand. His eye for weave, wool and colour was passed down the way it began: by watching, not by writing it down.
Four generations later, his great-grandchildren have brought the trade online. Not to scale it. To preserve it. The same eye. The same souk. The same family.

The story so far
Moulay Abdesalam opens in the Souk des Tapis
The first stall. Marrakech, 1962. He chooses each rug himself, often from the weavers of the Atlas Mountains. The standard is set from day one.
Moulay Habib carries the trade forward
His son inherits the eye for selection and grows the family name in the souk. The standard holds.
A family trade takes root
Moulay Habib's sons join the trade. What began as one man's stall becomes a family business, the Idrissi name established in the Souk des Tapis as a house of selection, not volume.
Ismail brings it online
The fourth generation launches Maison Idrissi. The same rugs, chosen with the same care, now delivered to your door, worldwide.
