Woven Magic.
In Marrakesh there are many wonderful inspiring design houses. We happened to stop in at Bladi Design one day and found ourselves immediately wrapped up in every detail of their showroom. From the multiple traditional Moroccan colorful carpets that covered the floor, to the Moroccan tiling on the walls, there was no square inch left uncovered for the eye to discover.
We immediately fell in love with their linens. Soft and luxurious. Each had a unique pattern and of course, they were all 100% hand woven. Yes you can find similarly nice designs in stores these days that are relatively inexpensive, but they are typically machine-made and from another large country in this world we will not name. The energy and magic that goes into the traditional weaving process is incredible and that magic is certainly felt in the Bladi designs.
This particular towel is perfect for the beach or by the pool. They dry out extremely quickly and can easily be wrapped as a sarong. They have been used for centuries throughout Africa in the dry desert heat.
Bladi design is a great traditional Moroccan designer that is current with today's trends.
