West Elm - Moroccan one-of-a-kind products, new collection

As you are all now probably aware, one of my favourite travel destinations is Marrakech.

Yesterday I spotted that West Elm have a new Moroccan collection, exquisite vintage wedding blankets, Berber rugs, pouffes, vintage trays and more...

One of the leading online home decor stores with a reputation for offering great design at affordable prices. I love how they source modern, natural products with clean lines. They also work with artisans and non profit workshops around the world.

This vintage wedding blanket is one of my next purchases, traditionally given to Berber brides-to-be by their female relatives to ward off evil spirits, these blankets bring good luck and triple as throws, rugs or wall hangings.

Organic Glamour

During my last trip to Marrakesh, I sourced these exquisite cushions which I am totally in love with, made from vintage wedding blankets, 'handira'

Hand-loomed from sheep's wool and cotton in tiny Berber villages high in the Atlas mountains. Tradition and skills are passed from generation to generation, prospective brides and their relatives patiently sewed each sequin by hand. 

These cushions are available in different sizes and can be sold with or without a feather pad. I only source pieces in pristine condition and different styles are also available.
