FAQs

A Sabra silk kilim is a traditional flatwoven Moroccan textile crafted using natural plant fibres derived from the Saharan Agave cactus. Known for its smooth texture and subtle sheen, these textiles feature hand-embroidered geometric patterns symbolic of Berber heritage.

These rugs are woven using cactus silk fibres processed from Agave leaves, often combined with cotton or wool for structural stability. The yarns are coloured using botanical dyes before being hand-woven on traditional looms.

Authentic Sabra silk exhibits slight natural slubs and irregularities inherent to hand-spun vegetable fibres. The intricate geometric motifs are hand-stitched rather than printed, displaying asymmetrical variations in thread density and colour tone.

A Sabra silk kilim can be laid over wood or stone flooring to add linear pattern, or suspended vertically as a wall tapestry. Its neutral ground and delicate coloured motifs complement contemporary, bohemian, and minimalist interior schemes.

Due to the water-soluble nature of natural vegetable dyes, Sabra silk textiles should be dry cleaned professionally or spot-cleaned without water. Regular maintenance requires gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush attachment to prevent fibre pulling.
