Frame Hayti - Fes bride

These little wall treasures extend our art piece presented at the exhibition "Vive la mariée" at the Institut du Monde Arabe: https://www.imarabe.org/fr/agenda/expositions-musee/vive-mariee

They are inspired by the Hayti, the embroidered hanging that traditionally adorns the walls of Moroccan weddings, here reimagined as a patchwork of antique brocades.

Entirely handmade in Fès/Morocco, with artisans and young people from the School of Arts and Crafts (Shemsy).

Comes with a bespoke wooden frame, handcrafted in an atelier in Fès.

Size: 16 cm (W) x 20 cm (H)

Each garment is hand-sewn in Morocco by artisans I know personally, creating meaningful work and preserving craft. 👋🏽

I personally hand-pick these antique fabrics, traditionally used to decorate Moroccan homes. We work exclusively with deadstocks and leftovers - which means every piece comes in a very limited edition. ♻️

The fabrics we use are central to Moroccan culture. They are fabrics used to pridely decorate homes. People live in them. They are passed on from a generation to another. 💗

Similarly, your jacket is meant to last! It is a piece you will wear across seasons (on top of a t-shirt in summer, layered on top of a dress and under a coat in winter). 🌅

Due to the lining: Dry clean only :)
