Handira, also called wedding blanket, are used in interior design for bed or sofa covers. This is a rectangular cloth designates in Morocco as a blanket woven with wool and cotton originally used as a coat worn on the shoulders and which constitutes a capital piece of the traditional Berber clothing. The loose loops of wool on the inside of a heavy handira would be worn on the outside during snowy weather. The snow would fall off the loops easily, so that the cloth doesn't become wet. Some blankets use hundreds of sequins that have been attached individually by hand. Into the Amazigh culture, the Handira is traditionally handwoven as a wedding dress in anticipation of a wedding thought to bring blessings and good luck to the newlyweds.
