I love these rugs! Sabra Kilim rugs are where the story of Little Tasa began... Ait gave me a beautiful brown one back in 2016, and I still think it's the most beautiful textile I've ever seen.
They're made of cactus silk and shine in the light. They're handmade in a specific region of the Atlas Mountains and the women of the region specialize in weaving and loom work. The motifs of each carpet tell the story of the women who made it... You can actually look up Berber motifs and decode them a bit... I think it's so much fun! Sabra Kilims are also vegan rugs. The don't use and animal byproducts and are naturally dyed.
Just like most traditional Moroccan rugs, Sabra Kilims only have tassels on one side (because of the way they're made on the loom).
I love to see Sabra Kilims used in unconventional ways... One of our brilliant clients used it to reupholster a headboard, another uses it as a wallhanging, and I use ours as a bed spread. The options are endless... ;)
