This unique Moroccan pillow is hand loomed and hand dyed. The fabric is commonly known as "cactus silk" or "sabra silk".
Spiky leaves from sustainable Saharan agave cactus are harvested, hammered and then soaked to release fibers. The fibers are then hand spun using traditional processes to make cactus silk. The silk is then combined with camel wool and handwoven on a loom to make cactus silk rugs that in turn are made into these vintage cushion covers.
The pillow features ancient symbolic Berber motifs from Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains. and has a Hand sown interlaced fringe with a tassel on each corner.
Each piece has a unique intricate embroidered design, and no two will every be exactly the same!
