Burnt Orange Sabra Silk Pillow — Amazigh Cross Motifs

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.

Piece Details

Due to the handmade nature of Sabra silk weaving, slight artisan variations of approximately 1 inch may occur, making each piece uniquely authentic.

Styling Notes

Burnt orange grounds beautifully with deep teal, warm ivory, charcoal, and natural jute. This piece works as a focal point on a neutral sofa or as part of a layered arrangement with other earthy textiles. Its colour and motifs do the work — no styling tricks needed.

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.

Because each piece is woven by hand using traditional bidaia tools, dimensions may vary slightly from piece to piece. This is a natural characteristic of the handmade process — not a defect — and part of what makes each TIGEMI piece genuinely individually handmade in Morocco — no two pieces are ever exactly alike.
