The Weavery Story

We are Driss and Bettina. Driss was born in El Ksiba, a small moroccan town at the foot of the Middle-Atlas mountains. Bettina is originally from Germany. We both made a career in Advertising in Amsterdam, which is where we met and fell in love.

In 2013, when we opened our charming B&B in a former Weaver’s house in the center of Amsterdam, we wanted to integrate some of Driss’ heritage into the interior decoration.

It was Driss’s mother who first suggested that we leave the busy souks of the city and return to Driss’s birth village. Here, we could source the carpets straight from the weavers and we could create rugs according to our own designs. We were able to establish a personal relationship with the artisan weavers and support them by paying them an honest wage.

This is a nostalgic journey for Driss. As a child, he would watch the decorative carpets grow, as if by magic, as the weavers worked at their looms.
