Moroccan Wedding Blanket or Handira blanket, is traditionally used by Berber brides on their wedding day, and has become an object of desire in the world of interior design.
Welcome to the "Moroccan style"!
Hand woven and embroidered with natural wool, the handira blanket, with its sequins, silver fringes and hundreds of pearls, has conquered the interiors of half the world.
The Moroccan Wedding Blanket or handira is a blanket that is worn by the bride, tied to her neck like a cape, on her wedding day.
These Moroccan wedding blankets are woven in sheep's wool, cotton and linen by Berber women of the Beni Ourain tribe of Morocco, as a wedding gift.
Weeks before the wedding, the wives of the bride's family sew the blanket, while revealing all the secrets of the wedding to the bride.
Between confessions and advice, they sew by hand thousands of mirrors and sequins that will attract the happiness and fertility of the bride.
It can take several days or even weeks of work to join these hundreds of flakes once the fabric is finished.
For Berbers, as for many ethnic groups in Africa, visual objects and motifs have multiple meanings and purposes.
It is believed that the hand weaving process gives the textile baraka (blessings).
Once finished, the Handira blanket not only serves as an ornament for the bride on her wedding day, but also to protect herself from evil and give fertility and opportunity to the newlyweds.
Not so long ago, these beautiful and highly sought-after blankets were unknown outside Morocco.
They are woven from wool, cotton and linen, and most are not dyed, so neutral colours predominate, perfect for decorating minimalist pieces and painted white as in Nordic decoration.
