Sabra pillows

Sabra cushions

Cactus silk cushions are also called Sabra cushions, wait what? Yes, you heard correctly. Sabra cushions are made from the silk that is spun from the Aloe Vera cactus plant. The fruit of this cactus is also called ‘sabra’, hence the name of these cushions. We will now explain how fabric can be made from a plant.

How are cushions made?

The cactus has pointed, long leaves that are ground into fibres and then soaked in water. In this way, it is possible to spin a silk thread from it. This thread can be dyed with natural dyes such as saffron, indigo or henna. In this way, you can make material with which to weave a cushion. This weaving process is still done by hand in Morocco. The symbols you see on the cushions are often ideas of the maker herself. The symbols can have a meaning, but can also just be a matter of creativity. So Sabra cushions are not only pleasing to the eye, but also a story of craftsmanship and tradition.

Sabra cushions in your interior

Despite the fact that this fabric is also called ‘vegan silk’, it feels a bit different. The fabric is a bit stiff and you can see and feel that it is a natural material. Because of this cactus silk, the cushions will stay beautiful for years! It is important to make sure the fabric does not come into contact with water. This can cause the cushions to lose their colour. And that would be a waste of all the delicate work that went into it!
