Our white Handira footwear was hand-woven, the Handiras are a window to the Berber culture. The Handiras were made dozens of years ago by Berber women. The bride on her wedding day 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 wife all the secrets of the marriage. Its preparation is quite a ritual, the women took several days, even weeks of work, joining hundreds of sequins to attract happiness and fertility to the marriage.
