Deep emerald sabra silk, naturally dyed to hold that specific shade of green that only agave fibre absorbs correctly — rich without being heavy, botanical without being decorative. Dark brown Amazigh Berber motifs move across the surface with the unhurried rhythm of a pattern that has been refined over centuries. Corner tassels at each edge finish the piece with the same restraint the weave itself exercises.
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
Emerald grounds beautifully with warm neutrals — ivory, camel, raw linen, aged brass. This pillow works on a cream sofa, a rattan chair, or layered into a floor arrangement with terracotta and ochre cushions. Its depth makes it a quiet anchor.
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.
