The rugs by @leontheblond

Berber rugs for a natural blonde

Leontheblond collects BohemianChicInterior rugs. Leontheblond lives in Ibiza. And Leontheblond is a cocker spaniel. The most adorable of dogs is also one of the luckiest on the planet. A cocker spaniel who has been loyal to us and has been collecting vintage Azilal, Beniouarain, and Boujaad rugs for years. Leontheblond also has an Instagram account, @leontheblond. And that's how he appeared one day on our iPhone screen, @bohemianchicinterior. Leontheblond isn't shy. He called us at +33 6 27 40 73 24. And in his cocker spaniel voice tinged with an Iberian accent, he barked at us: "I want them all!"

"But what do you mean, all of them?"

"Yes, all the rugs, I want all your rugs! Especially the ones that smell of sheep's wool. I love sheep!"

"Well, first of all, our rugs don't smell. And besides, a dog isn't supposed to talk. Let alone order rugs on Instagram."

"I don't care, I'll pay, send you the rugs, female dog!"

"Well, it's okay that you're a dog, so I won't take that as a sexist insult."

"Yes, sorry, I forgot I was talking to a human. A human who sells rugs. I'll say 'female dog' again, but know that in my mouth it's a compliment."

"Okay, but what does 'all' mean? All the ones I have? All the ones from today? All the ones in the world?"

"No, that's a canine exaggeration, it just means I want a lot of them, since when do we dogs know how to count?"

"Well, what am I supposed to say? I didn't even know you could talk, or that you liked Berber rugs. It's not for peeing on, is it?"

"Madam, I've been house-trained since I was four weeks old. Can you say the same? I doubt it! And I know very well that cleaning dog urine off a carpet is easy with sparkling water. San Pellegrino or Perrier."

Okay, if you're reading this, I know you think I'm crazy and don't believe a word I've just written. But if you visit @leontheblond's account, I think you might quickly change your mind.

Our rugs are so beautiful that, yes, dogs love them and, yes, they even order them on Instagram. And besides, it's well known that the real winners of Instagram are dogs and cats. It's impossible for us poor humans to compete. Even the algorithms love @leontheblond.
