Vintage Moroccan Throw Hiba

Bring colour, texture and a story of Moroccan craftsmanship into your home with Hiba. Handwoven in a multicoloured check, this vintage throw combines cotton and recycled yarn with sections of bouclé, looped-yarn weaving, tiny tassels, and a row of colourful fringing in assorted yarns.

Checks, bouclé and boucherouite all in one blanket

Made in a village in Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, Hiba was originally woven for the maker’s own home. Its design reveals a technique women in the region use to create Boucherouite, or rag rugs: weaving and hand-knotting strips of recycled fabric. The pattern and use of colour reflect the weaver’s skill, creativity and resourcefulness.

Layer this medium-weight throw over a bed, along the back of a sofa or across a favourite chair to add pattern and texture to a room.  Aside from worn fringing along one side, the blanket is in good vintage condition.
