This Berber haïk is a lightweight, finely woven fabric originally used by Berber women to drape around their bodies. The soft, regular weave gives the textile a smooth texture, while the vibrant stripes in bold colors contrast against the soft ivory white background. The fabric’s lightness makes it ideal for layering, and the consistent pattern of stripes adds a dynamic visual appeal. Originally a practical garment, it now serves as a versatile piece that combines simplicity with striking color contrasts.
A Moroccan haïk is a large, rectangular piece of lightweight fabric, traditionally made from wool or cotton. Worn primarily by women, it is draped around the body and head, serving both as clothing and a modest covering. Typically white or ivory in color, the haïk is often plain but can include subtle decorative elements. It was historically a symbol of elegance and cultural identity in various regions of Morocco.
As a handmade vintage piece, this blanket may have slight irregularities in weaving (edges or width) or may show signs of wear or repairs. We encourage potential buyers to closely inspect the photos and ask any questions they may have before making a purchase.
