The Beauty of Moroccan Textiles & Where To Get Yours!

The Beauty of Moroccan Textiles & Where To Get Yours!

Morocco often called a tapestry of cultures, has had decades of cross-cultural interaction and several foreign influences that have led it to become the beautiful, rich country it is today. Every part of Morocco - its architecture, music, art - is a perfect representation of its multi-cultural populace and this diversity is most visible in its textiles! Morocco’s textile history began hundreds of years ago when the native African Berber women (an indigenous tribe of North Africa) began weaving for religious, spiritual, and magical purposes. This practice was then influenced by the influx of Jews, Arab travelers, and European missionaries, creating the style of Moroccan textiles that we know today.
