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.
Fatima was born in 1956 in Ixf N'Ighir and is married and the mother of 4 children. She studied through primary school and learned the craft of weaving at a young age from her mother. She joined the cooperative to earn sustainable income and help her husband financially. She is part of the cooperative to empower herself and the rest of the women of the community. Fatima is hopeful that they will be able to find permanent space so that they can teach the rest of the younger women how to weave.
