A bowtie-shaped medallion sits at the center of this handcrafted Moroccan cactus silk pillow, framed by a stitched border and a single crossed-X motif at the corner, hand-stitched in charcoal against a chalky white ground. Woven from the resilient fibers of the Saharan aloe vera cactus — often called cactus silk or Sabra silk — this pillow measures approximately 20" square. Finished with a coordinating braided cord along the seams and raw fringe at the corners. Each piece is one of a kind; small variation in stitch and size is part of its handmade character.
This is a handmade Moroccan cactus silk pillow, 20" square, in chalky white with a central bowtie medallion, a stitched frame border, and a corner X motif in charcoal.
Q: What does "chalky white" mean as a fabric color? A: It describes a soft, slightly warm off-white — not stark bright white — closer to the natural, undyed tone of the woven cactus silk base before embroidery is added.
