These decorative blankets are traditionally made for weddings, often decorated with intricate patterns. The playful designs and warm white can add a Moroccan accent to any space as a blanket or throw. Wedding blankets made in the Ait Bouguemez valley are unique to the valley and are not made elsewhere.
Hakout, one of the founders of the cooperative was born in 1968 in Ixf N'Ighir and has lived there her entire life. She is now divorced and is now improving her literacy skills through classes taught locally. She learned the craft of weaving from her mother, focusing on Hanbel rugs. All of the money that she earns from the cooperative she uses to support her family. She hopes that the products are successful and that the cooperative continues to improve and develop.
