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.
