Handwoven Moroccan Wedding Blanket Pillow Cover with Sequins

This cushion cover design draws inspiration from the ceremonial handira wedding blankets traditionally loomed by Berber artisans in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains. The original piece features native wool fabric hand sewn with sparkly sequins, metal discs, and fringing. Handira blankets hold deep cultural significance, traditionally worn by Berber brides on their wedding day as symbols of happiness and fertility. The intricate handwork and months-long production time make these textiles highly treasured. This design is queued for production by Kalthoum EJ., who specializes in handwoven wool textiles in Tiznit. Her workshop will create their own interpretation of this ceremonial textile tradition, honoring the craft passed down through generations of Berber women weavers.
