Each Berber cushion is made in Morocco: individually handwoven by Moroccan craftswomen, then machine-embroidered. This decorative cushion retains the small imperfections of handmade work: no two pieces are exactly alike.
The cover is sold without an insert.

Embroidered patterns: cactus, Habibi, Hand of Fatima, protective eye, Love, Family
Each pattern is embroidered on a handwoven background, giving it a slight texture. What the embroidery says about each model can be summed up in a symbol or a word.
Cactus
The cactus pattern adds a light, botanical touch. This graphic design pairs well with bohemian decor, woven baskets, and green plants.
Habibi
Habibi means "my love" or "my darling" in Arabic. Embroidered in full letters, this word makes the cover a tender gift for a loved one.
Hand of Fatima
The Hand of Fatima, also known as the khamsa, is a symbol of protection widely used in Morocco. It is ideal for an entryway or living room, where guests are welcomed.
Protective eye
The protective eye is believed to ward off the evil eye. Its clean, symmetrical design stands out particularly well on a solid-colored seat.
Love and Family
The words Love and Family are embroidered in letters that are easy to read from a distance. They naturally fit into a family living space, either on their own or as a pair.
Use this square cushion cover among your decorative cushions
This modern Moroccan design finds its place on a sofa, in an adult bedroom, or on a bed. As a living room or bedroom cushion, its generous size makes it a central decorative element or a complement to other decorative cushions.
The 50 × 50 cm format creates a classic square cushion, while the 60 × 40 cm format is more elongated. As the cover is delivered empty, you can fill it with the material of your choice: cotton, linen, or recycled materials.
In practice, when styled, the handwoven cotton pairs well with softer textures. The velvet or faux fur of a nearby throw highlights the texture of the embroidery, whether in a bohemian interior or a more minimalist room.
Woven and embroidered in Morocco: how it differs from velvet or printed fabrics
A polyester printed cushion reproduces a flat design in large quantities. Here, the background is handwoven in Morocco and the pattern is embroidered: a texture you can feel with your fingers that retains its sharpness over the years.
The name Marrakech cushion often refers to mass-produced designs. At Tifinagh Shop, we select these pieces for the Berber craftsmanship they embody: for us, this handmade decorative cushion is a collector's item.
Caring for the cover and its embroidered pattern
- Regularly pat the cover to remove dust
- Dampen stained areas, then gently clean them with Marseille soap and cold water
- Rinse, then leave to air dry naturally to preserve the plant-based dyes
- Avoid machine washing and harsh products
With these simple steps, your Berber piece will retain its weave and colors for years.
