Handmade Moroccan Wedding Blanket Pouf: Berber Tassel Floor Pillow 03YL0495

Moroccan wedding blankets (Handira) are a marriage celebration tradition that originated with the Berber tribes, they are meticulously handwoven out of sheeps wool, cotton and linen in anticipation of a wedding by the brides female relatives. It can take hours, even weeks of work to attach metal mirrored sequins (which are authentic elements of Handira throws) once the weaving is complete. These ornate pieces hold significant cultural meaning for the tribes. Throws, poufs and pillows of this style have recently become an international trend. Our beautiful decorative Floor pillow cushions take original, historic Handira and up-cycle them into easy to fill cases that we have embellished with black handmade tassels and colorful threads for a unique appearance. Your floor pillow will arrive unstuffed, and can be filled through the zippered canvas back.
