About us

Hello!  I am Youssef  "Owner of Dealotsa rugs" and I love rugs - It is in my genes!  I am Moroccan born but have been sharing time between Marrakech, Corbeil essonnes ( live in France ) and Morocco since 2013.  All my life I have been around Moroccan rugs and learning from my 78-year-old father who is one of the best rug and kilim collectors and a certified expert.  We have traveled together all over Morocco - to the mountains, Sahara and sea, to Berber villages and small homes and also to many rug auctions. 

I learned about carpets from my father at a very early age. He was (and still is) a Berber carpet dealer and has had a successful rug business in Marrakesh for many years.  Traveling with him as a child and observing him deal with people and carpets, I learned how to buy and sell rugs, how to clean and mend them. Also, I learned a lot about different Berber tribes and their styles and techniques of carpet weaving, but primarily, my father taught me how to deal with the artists, how to treat them respectfully and honestly in order to win their hearts and trust, and establish good trade relationships. Later in my life I started my own business and traveled abroad as a rug dealer myself. I carried with me all the knowledge that my father had given me. I sold rugs at craft shows and flea markets worldwide, including the FR. At present, I continue the business selling high-quality Moroccan rugs via the internet as well.

Our first priority goal is to bring 100% satisfaction to our customers by providing them with high quality authentic Moroccan rugs. We must make sure that my products satisfy all quality criteria, such as the absence of defects, smells, stains, safe and prompt shipping, One of our most important and basic values and principles includes establishment of honest and trustworthy relationship between us and our customers on one hand, and with the artists/craftsmen on the other.

Unfortunately, traditional arts and crafts are slowly disappearing worldwide including Morocco due to globalization and other economic and political issues. With this in mind, We would like to invest as much as possible of our resources into extending our warehouses and purchasing rare and antique Berber rugs, as we see them becoming a real treasure in the future and our retirement plan at the same time.
