MELLE AN is an independent online shop based in the South of France, born from a deep love of Moroccan craftsmanship. There is no mass production here: every rug, every basket, every light has been chosen one by one, for its beauty and for the story it carries.
In the Berber villages of the Atlas Mountains, women and men keep alive techniques passed down from generation to generation. They weave our rugs from pure sheep’s wool, braid our baskets from palm leaves and shape our doum pendant lights. Their know-how is at the heart of MELLE AN.
Because they are handmade, our pieces are never quite identical. A shade of color, a slightly different pattern: that is the signature of true craftsmanship, and what makes each piece precious.
Each piece is selected at the source, as close as possible to the artisans, for its quality and authenticity. Graphic Beni Ouarain rugs, colorful Azilal rugs, wool-embroidered baskets: unique creations that bring warmth and character to any home.
A question about a piece, a size or a special request? Email us at melle.an.store@gmail.com or call +33 6 19 02 99 73. We’ll be delighted to help you find the piece that will bring your home to life.
I am Moroccan, and I watched Berber rugs come to life before my eyes. My grandmother weaves, and so do my aunts: as a little girl, I would watch them knot the wool for hours, surrounded by family and friends.
MELLE AN is a very small family business: my grandmother, my aunts, the Atlas artisans they know… and me, from the South of France. I travel to Morocco myself to choose each piece, one by one. Our rugs are hand-woven in pure sheep’s wool by women artisans from the Boujaad region, at the foot of the Atlas Mountains.
What I love is seeing these rugs from my childhood become bohemian, chic and warm in your homes today. Each piece carries a little of our story.
