Textile Treasury: Cactus Silk

Cactus silk, aka Sabra silk, textiles are possibly one of our favorite Moroccan textiles for their amazing softness- a nice change from the wool textiles, which can sometimes be a bit scratchy. Another big plus for cactus silk is that it’s vegan- being made from the fiber of the Saharan aloe vera, a member of the agave family. You can’t get more Jungalow than colorful rugs and pillows made from plants- right?!

While the huge rugs are dreamy, even the smallest of rugs made from cactus silk make beautiful wall hangings. We love the pillows made from rugs too- the perfect way to take advantage of the soft hand of cactus silk. Most of the pieces you’ll find incorporate traditional symbols into the design, so every rug or pillow tells it’s own story.

To shop more of our favorites (including that gorgeous rug), visit our Etsy treasury, or check out Flea Market Fab’s regular Instagram sales!
