Our Story

Handmade with soul in the Atlas Mountains

SabraLoom was born from a love for authentic Moroccan craftsmanship and a desire to bring the warmth of the Atlas Mountains into modern homes across Europe.

What is Cactus Silk?

Cactus silk, known locally as sabra, is a natural fiber derived from the Aloe Vera cactus plant. For centuries, Berber artisans in Morocco have transformed this sustainable material into stunning textiles.

The process is entirely handmade: from harvesting the fibers, to spinning them into thread, dyeing with natural pigments, and finally weaving on traditional looms. Each pillow can take several days to complete.
