Woven by hand in Marrakech using traditional sabra cactus silk, this handwoven pillow cover brings a warm, anchoring red into any room. A deep paprika — naturally plant-dyed — with ivory Berber X-glyphs at the corners, a slender twin diamond column through the center, and hand-knotted side fringes.
Provenance
Each TIGEMI piece is individually sourced and documented for its texture, weaving character, and handmade irregularities. Crafted on traditional looms by artisan women in Morocco, no two pieces are ever exactly alike.
Sabra — also known as cactus silk — is a plant-based fibre extracted from the leaves of the Agave cactus, native to Morocco. Naturally lustrous and lightweight, it develops a soft sheen with time and wear. This piece is hand-loomed using traditional bidaia techniques, giving it a subtle texture and a surface that catches the light with quiet depth.

Styling Notes
Beautiful as a single confident accent over neutral linen, bouclé or grey velvet sofas. Designed for calm, collected interiors where one piece anchors the room.
Care & Longevity
Spot clean gently or hand wash with care, then lay flat to dry. Because sabra is a natural handmade textile, subtle variations in weave, tone, and texture are part of its character.
Handmade Sabra Note
Because every TIGEMI pillow is crafted entirely by hand on traditional Moroccan looms, you might notice slight variations in size or texture. We don’t see these as imperfections—they are the beautiful hallmarks of authentic Sabra silk and the human touch behind our weaving process. Unlike mass-produced textiles, no two TIGEMI pieces will ever be exactly identical. The piece you bring home is completely, uniquely yours.
