Why are Moroccan rugs so expensive?
2 Answers
They actually are pretty inexpensive when compared to other types of rugs.

Morrocan rugs are so expensive because every part of the process from dyeing the wool with valuable dyes to hand tying each knot is labor intensive. The West’s current infatuation with Moroccan tribal rugs stretches to the mid-20th century, when designers embraced bold geometric patterns and even bolder palettes as counterpoints to form-follows-function interiors. Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier were among the designers who used these rustic, natural rugs to offset austere interiors.
