Handiras blankets, also known as wedding blankets, are a beauty of Moroccan craftsmanship, unique pieces that were used at weddings by Berber brides from the High Atlas Mountains and have slowly been incorporated and transformed into an object of desire in the world of decoration, fitting perfectly in a variety of styles.
Their irregular aspect adds an authentic touch, the sequins add shine and their white color adds a touch of softness.
These blankets originating from Moroccan culture are woven in wool or cotton and have appliqués with sequins and bangs.
Our white Handira was woven by hand, the Handiras are a window to the Berber culture. Handiras were made tens of years ago by Berber women. The bride on the day of her marriage wore a handira tied around her neck as a cape, as a symbol of happiness and good fortune. Weeks before the ceremony, the women of the bride’s family sew the blanket, while they reveal to the future bride all the secrets of the marriage. Its elaboration is a ritual, the women took several days, even weeks of work, joining hundreds of sequins to attract happiness and fertility to the marriage.
