In 2014, after deciding to pursue a career in photography, Carly traveled to Morocco planning to snap some photos to document her trip. As she learned the entire process of making these beautiful rugs and forged relationships with many of the men and women artisans, Carly decided that she wanted to import these exquisite items and bring them to homes in the U.S. Upon her return to the States, Coco Carpets was started from Los Angeles, CA. It was immediately successful, and Carly’s deep knowledge of each rug was a draw to many U.S. buyers eager to learn.
Coco Carpets has grown to become a community of vintage Moroccan rug lovers from around the world.
