A cluster of small star motifs and a stacked bowtie-diamond medallion share the face of this handcrafted Moroccan cactus silk lumbar pillow, hand-stitched in white against a soft ivory ground with natural tonal streaking throughout. Woven from the resilient fibers of the Saharan aloe vera cactus — often called cactus silk or Sabra silk — this lumbar pillow measures approximately 22"(L) x 14"(H). Finished with raw fringe at the corners for an honest, handmade character. 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 lumbar pillow, approximately 22"x14", in ivory with scattered star motifs and a central bowtie-diamond medallion.
Q: How can you tell a cactus silk pillow is genuinely handmade rather than machine-loomed? A: Look for small irregularities — slightly uneven stitch spacing, subtle color variation within the same thread, and a slightly textured (not perfectly flat) weave. Machine-made imitations tend to look too uniform and lack that texture.
