Moroccan Wedding Blankets, known as handira, are woven by Berber women in the Middle Atlas mountains of Northern Morocco. Each handira is unique and is usually woven out of sheep's wool, cotton, and linen by the women from the bride’s family. The blanket is adorned with metallic discs and rows of white fringe. Traditionally, after the wedding ceremony, the bride wears the blanket tied around her neck as a kind of cape. We purchased this blanket in the ancient souks of Marrakech on our March 2020 trip to Morocco. This is a vintage blanket that is in good shape but it does have signs of wear.
