Global Textiles: Moroccan Wedding Blanket

A Moroccan wedding blanket, also known as a handira, is a hand-sewn blanket made for a bride before her wedding, usually by a member of her family. Once the wool is loomed, thousands of little mirrors are then sewn by hand onto the wool. It's definitely on my list should I ever find myself in Morocco!
