Burnt orange — the colour of sun-dried clay, of spice markets at closing hour, of a fire that has been burning long enough to know what it is. This sabra cactus silk pillow carries that warmth in its ground, marked by white and yellow Amazigh symbols at the centre and corners, and softened by the faint horizontal lines that run through the weave — a quiet vintage texture born from the loom itself.
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 cactus silk is extracted from the agave plant — a natural, biodegradable fibre with a distinctive silky sheen. It is hand-spun and hand-dyed before being woven on traditional Moroccan looms, giving each piece its characteristic depth of colour and tactile richness.

Styling Notes
This burnt orange cactus silk pillow is the warmth anchor of any earthy interior. Layer it with ochre, cream, and natural linen cushions for a sun-drenched palette — or let it stand alone on a charcoal or deep navy sofa for maximum contrast. Its vintage woven texture adds depth even before you touch it.
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 one of a kind.
