My name is Khadija Al-Abdi, I am married and have two children, one son and one daughter, born in Ain Al-Louh in 1973. My educational level is the fifth grade of elementary school. I learned textile work through vocational training at the cooperative for two years, and afterwards, I joined the cooperative to help support my husband with the household expenses.
Cooperative Tisseuses is most well known for their hanbel rugs. While hanbel rugs are commonly found through the Middle Atlas mountains, the contemporary design found on most are large said to have started in Ain Leuh. Regardless of the origin of these rugs, they still set the trends in the wider weaving community. The symbols on these rugs reflect different criteria of Amazigh women such as courage which is represented by the lion eyes.
