About
African Creates Co. was founded by Amine Mounir in Rabat, Morocco, in March 2017. AfricanCreates is the culmination of its founder's efforts to offer the finest selection of a la mode, authentic and one-of-a-kind Moroccan rugs.
Amine’s life experiences abroad in the U.S. awoke within him with a fervent entrepreneurial spirit, which combined with his sincere passion for Moroccan ancestral handicraft savoir-faire, led him to create the company, in the tradition of a trade relationship that has existed between the U.S. and Morocco for centuries.
An AfricanCreates rug is a unique piece of handwoven art and reflection of its weaver’s artistry and savoir-faire. Made from the purest and locally sourced materials, such as Atlas mountain sheep wool, and crafted according to ancient, traditional weaving techniques, each is infused with a sense of history and designed in a language of unique simplicity. Moroccan rugs have long been fashionable and AfricanCreates offers pieces to match any style and home. It is the Moroccan rug that has been so beloved over the years by renowned designers, such as Le Corbusier, Yves Saint Laurent, and Frank Lloyd Wright.

It all began with a backpacking trip to the high atlas Mountains in Morocco . Some time ago, Amine faced by the bad situation of living of so many small families in remote areas, making a living by weaving beautiful and unique rugs. This got him thinking: what if he, a Moroccan native, could give the world access to these one-of-a-kind works of art?
He then travelled extensively to the Atlas Mountains in Northwest Africa, staying multiple months in the villages where the rugs are woven by hand, to learn as much as he could, from dreaming up the design, to weaving the final thread. Amine continues to travel hundreds of kilometers across Morocco to curate the best rugs for you and your home.
