Dark brown strips of satin ribbon, guided by hand across an embroidery frame in a Marrakech cooperative near Bab Doukkala, form the diamond lattice and terracotta floral medallions that define these berber embroidered pillow covers. Each motif is hand-stitched directly onto the cream cotton-silk base — the ribbon sits above the fabric surface, creating dimensional texture that shifts with the light throughout the day. This set of two covers brings the geometry of traditional Berber pattern into a warm, earthy palette of dark brown and burnt orange.
Key Features
- Hand-embroidered ribbon work — dimensional diamond lattice and floral medallions stitched by hand, distinct from flat thread embroidery
- Cotton-silk blend fabric — cream base with terracotta and burnt orange on rich dark brown
- 17.4 x 17.4 in / 44 x 44 cm — set of 2 square covers (inserts not included)
- Envelope closure — overlapping back panel for simple insert changes
- Backing matches the front — same cotton-silk fabric on both sides
- Each cover varies slightly in stitch placement, reflecting the artisan’s hand
Hasna’s Story
Hasna learned ribbon embroidery as an apprentice in the women’s cooperative near Bab Doukkala in the Marrakech medina, where senior craftswomen pass the technique to new members through year-long teaching cycles. Her specialism is the Berber diamond lattice — a motif rooted in Amazigh weaving traditions, reinterpreted in raised ribbon stitches. A single diamond cluster on a 44 cm cover takes her approximately four hours to complete by hand. Hasna, the ribbon embroidery craftswoman, produces every piece in this collection under her own name.
