SIZE: 7'4"x4'
Moroccan wedding blanket, also called Handira are known in modern design for their beautiful bohemian style and neutral color palette. They are used as bed covers, wall hangings, sofa coverings, throws, tablecloths, and more. Handira is woven out of sheep's wool, cotton and linen by Moroccan Berber women in the Middle Atlas mountains. Each blanket can take several weeks to make.
The blankets are woven in advance for the wedding ceremony, by the bride's entourage as a bridal dress. After receiving marriage advice from her family, the bride wears the Berber dress on the way to her new home. For berbers it is a symbol of fertility, blessings and protection from evil forces.
