This handmade cotton pillow is handwoven by Moroccan local artisans using traditional weaving looms. The pom poms on the sides were originally a technique to assemble the leftovers of yarns after weaving the core of the pillow. It later turned into its main embellishing feature.

Yarn weaving is a traditional heritage that Amazigh women transmit to their daughters. Every region in the Moroccan Atlas mountains has its secrets in weaving pillows, rugs, blankets, and even clothes. These secrets are not shared with other regions to conserve the attribution of this art-making to their region. Amazigh women also embed in their work specific signs or letters from their language that have meaning and relate to a story.

It is also worth noting that while in the early ages, artisanal yarn weaving was an art exclusively mastered only by women, it is nowadays also mastered by men from Berber villages in the Atlas mountains of Morocco.
