Sabra rug 160/97cm

A Sabra rug is a type of rug made from Sabra silk, which is a vegetable-based silk derived from the fibers of the agave cactus plant (also known as cactus silk). These rugs are typically handcrafted in Morocco, especially by Berber artisans, and are prized for their silky texture, vibrant colors, and lightweight feel.

Key Features of a Sabra Rug:

• Material: Cactus silk (Sabra), sometimes blended with cotton.

• Texture: Smooth and soft, with a subtle sheen.

• Designs: Often features Berber symbols or geometric patterns.

• Colors: Traditionally dyed using natural dyes, including indigo, saffron, henna, and cochineal.

• Use: Typically used as decorative pieces—floor rugs, wall hangings, or throws.

Care Note:

Sabra rugs are not ideal for wet or high-moisture areas as the vegetable fibers can be sensitive to water. Dry cleaning or gentle vacuuming is recommended.
