A bowtie medallion anchors the center of this handcrafted Moroccan cactus silk pillow, echoed by crossed-X motifs at each corner and a light stitched border, in charcoal against a chalky white ground. Woven from the resilient fibers of the Saharan aloe vera cactus — often called cactus silk or Sabra silk — this pillow measures approximately 20" square. Finished with a coordinating braided cord along the seams and raw fringe at the corners. Each piece is one of a kind; small variation in stitch and size is part of its handmade character.

This is a handmade Moroccan cactus silk pillow, 20" square, in chalky white with a central bowtie medallion, corner X motifs, and a light stitched border in charcoal.

Q: Is chalky white with charcoal stitching a good neutral for a colorful room? A: Yes — because the base is a soft off-white rather than stark white, it tends to sit more quietly in a colorful room than a bright white-and-black pattern would, working as a grounding neutral rather than another competing accent.
