The Craftswomen Behind Our Sabra Textiles

At Moroccan Corridor, craftsmanship is not simply a design detail. It is part of how our Sabra textiles are made.

Working with our cooperative partner in Morocco, craftswomen carry out the dyeing, weaving, embroidery and stitching by hand. Each stage requires skill, attention to detail and a practiced understanding of textile work.

From the woven surface to the embroidered details and finished seams, these hand-executed processes give each piece its own character. Small variations are part of the individuality of handmade work.

The term Sabra is commonly associated with Moroccan decorative textiles, but it does not, by itself, establish the exact composition of the yarn. We therefore distinguish the craftsmanship involved in making a textile from claims about its fibre content, botanical origin or environmental properties.
