This beautiful vintage pillow case is made from traditional handira wedding blanket. These wedding blankets are worn by berber brides on their wedding day. They are handwoven by female relatives of the bride and can take weeks to make.
They are a blessing of happiness (baraka) and symbol of fertility, fortune and protection from evil forces. Each piece is unique and one of a kind, made from sheep wool and cotton by Moroccan Berber women in the Atlas region.
