Moroccan Wedding Blankets - Handira
These exquisite wedding blankets, known as Handira, are more than just beautiful textiles—they are cherished symbols of tradition and love. Worn by brides on their wedding day, each blanket is meticulously handcrafted by the bride’s relatives, often taking weeks of dedication and effort. Traditionally draped lengthwise and secured with two ties around the shoulders, your wedding blanket may still have these ties intact, adding to its authenticity.
Originating from the Imazighen people (their true name), these vintage blankets are made of the finest wool and cotton. They are known for their signature fluffy fringes, and are often adorned with shimmering sequins or vibrant Kilim fabric. Beyond their beauty, Handira blankets hold deep cultural significance: they are believed to bring good luck, protect the bride from evil spirits, and bless her with fertility.
These stunning pieces make a beautiful addition to any home—draped at the foot of a bed, hung as a striking wall decoration, or gifted as a thoughtful and meaningful wedding present.
All of our vintage blankets are crafted from pure cotton and wool, with no synthetic fabrics, ensuring both quality and authenticity.
