Origin • Culture • Look & Feel
Cactus silk—known locally as sabra—is a traditional Moroccan textile made from agave fibers. For generations, Berber artisans have woven and embroidered these textiles to record identity, protection, and prosperity through symbols such as diamonds, arrows, and stars.
Expect a supple, artisanal hand with a gentle luster, crisp geometry, and sun-washed or saturated color. Because each sabra rug is handmade, slight variations in tone, embroidery, and edges are part of the charm.
Fiber Prep • Dyeing • Weaving & Embroidery
Agave leaves are processed to extract long plant fibers, which are cleaned, spun, and softened for a silky handle.
Traditional methods achieve vivid hues and natural-leaning palettes—from blush, saffron, and teal to sand and ecru.
On upright looms, weavers create flatweave cloth, then add symbolic motifs in contrasting yarns. Edges are secured and fringes finished by hand.
