Three fabric strips in shades of dark red thru to an orange red lie on top of two antique wool blankets of varying thickness of  red and cream wood stripes.

After we met with the artisans at Fondouk Chejra, we were delighted to receive an impressive array of fabric samples. These textiles were thoughtfully designed to complement a cherished set of antique wool heirloom blankets—unique treasures passed down through generations. Our client dreamed of transforming these heirlooms into distinctive pillows, and we eagerly set out to make that vision a reality.


After careful consideration, we narrowed our selection to a few exceptional samples. These chosen fabrics provided the perfect foundation for the weavers to craft custom textiles that would ultimately adorn our Souk beds and become beautifully embroidered pillows.


Cream and black striped antique wool blankets are the background for the cream fabric sample that was selected from the Fondouk Chejra.

We started with a luxurious cream cotton fabric, which was then taken to an embroidery shop along with printouts of traditional Moroccan designs. These designs, renowned for their vibrant colors, rich textures, and fluid lines, beautifully blend North African, Mediterranean, and Islamic influences. Characterized by intricate geometric patterns—often featuring intersecting straight lines that rotate into radiating, star-like formations—these motifs are a staple of Islamic architecture and are especially prevalent in Moroccan design.

The final touch was to incorporate these handcrafted pillows into the space. We placed them on souk daybeds of varying sizes throughout the home and even atop layered rugs, creating a harmonious blend of comfort and culture.

I'm especially proud to share that all the fabrics used in this project were handmade in Tangier, Morocco—a testament to our commitment to quality and authentic craftsmanship.
