Moroccan wedding blankets, also known as Handira, are traditional textiles woven by the Berber people of Morocco, especially in the Middle Atlas region. They are handcrafted from wool and cotton, often adorned with sequins, and have a distinct off-white or cream-colored base. Handira blankets are made by female relatives of the bride in preparation for her wedding. They symbolize blessings, fertility, and protection for the bride as she transitions into married life. The bride traditionally wears the blanket draped over her shoulders on the way to her new home. After the wedding, the blanket is often used as a bedspread or decorative textile in the couple’s home. Each blanket is handwoven over weeks, incorporating geometric patterns, fringe, and reflective sequins (mouzoun). The designs are unique, carrying cultural significance and reflecting the weaver’s artistic expression. Today, Moroccan wedding blankets are highly sought after in bohemian, minimalist, and eclectic interiors. They are often used as Throws on sofas or beds, Wall hangings for a textured aesthetic and Rugs in cozy, neutral-toned spaces
