Crafted by Berber women in the Moroccan High Atlas, the Handira is handmade from pure wool. Declined from the traditional Handira, this Handira has square fringes designs, then is embroidered with hundreds of hand-stitched metal sequins.
At the time, the Handira was a wedding blanket according to Berber traditions. The bride’s relatives weeded the Handira for several weeks and then decorated it with hundreds of metal sequins. On her wedding day, the bride wore the Handira on her shoulders like a cape, to join her husband. You could hear his arrival all over the village thanks to the many sequins that came close to each other! Morocco’s traditional Berber Handira rug was usually white or cream, and then decorated with small coins or silver sequins.
Today, the Handira has become a very trendy and popular decorative accessory. The Handiras fit perfectly in a modern decoration to bring a warm and authentic touch.
