BERBER CHIC - WHOLESALE HANDIRA (Moroccan Wedding Blankets)

The Moroccan Handira is hand-woven in pure wool by Berber women of the Middle Atlas Mountains.  The  traditional Moroccan handira  is generally white or cream, and then decorated with small coins or silver sequins. They have a history, a life.  In some areas, the fabric is dyed red with plant material and has geometric patterns and wide vertical strips of cotton are integrated.

Handira can take several weeks to make. The bride would wear the handira as a cape, the day of her wedding ceremony, as part of her dowry.Then after the wedding ceremony it is used as a bedspread.

Each one is unique in design and decorated with bushy tufted rows of wool and numerous sequins. A tradition that has now become an art form, these bohemian beauties look wonderful used as blankets, wall hangings or rugs.
