Vintage Hayk “RHIM” | Handwoven Moroccan Throw | One-of-a-kind

A soft, sun-worn beauty with character in every fibre — Lalla Rhim is a vintage Moroccan hayk woven in creamy neutrals, chocolate browns and joyful accents of red and pink. It’s that perfect mix of earthy warmth and playful colour that instantly lifts a space.

Handwoven decades ago by Berber women using repurposed textiles, each stripe carries a story. The weaving is irregular, textured, tactile — a reminder that this piece was made slowly, by hand, in a family home, not a factory.

The Story

I sourced this hayk during my recent buying trip in Marrakech. It appeared in the souk folded between more neutral pieces — until a woman walked over, smiling proudly, and shook it open with a flourish. The pink and red details caught the light immediately. It had that “yes” feeling — the kind of authentic textile you only find when you’re patient and lucky.
After some back-and-forth at the criée, it became mine — and now, maybe yours.

How to Use It

These vintage hayks are wonderfully versatile:

• As a colourful sofa throw
• As a soft bed cover or end-of-the-bed layer
• Folded over an armchair
• As a picnic or garden blanket
• As a table cloth or styling backdrop
• Or simply hung over a ladder as a piece of textile art

The texture is thick but flexible, the feel is lived-in and cosy — and the colours make any room happier.
