Description

The Handwoven Halfa Mirror, woman-made in Tunisia using sustainable halfa, is a unique and eco-friendly piece that blends traditional craftsmanship with sustainable materials. This mirror is handcrafted by Tunisian women artisans who utilize the natural and renewable resource of halfa grass to create intricate woven patterns.

Halfa grass, also known as Stipa tenacissima, is a type of durable and sustainable fiber derived from a species of grass native to Tunisia and other regions of North Africa. The women artisans carefully harvest and prepare the halfa grass, ensuring its quality and suitability for weaving.

Using their weaving skills and techniques passed down through generations, the artisans skillfully intertwine the halfa grass to create the frame and decorative patterns of the mirror. The result is a beautifully textured and unique piece that showcases the natural beauty of the material.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the Handwoven Halfa Mirror represents sustainable and ethical practices. By utilizing halfa grass, a renewable resource, the artisans contribute to environmental conservation and promote the use of natural materials.

Purchasing a handwoven halfa mirror supports the empowerment of Tunisian women artisans, providing them with economic opportunities and recognition for their craftsmanship. It also promotes fair trade practices and cultural preservation by appreciating and supporting traditional weaving techniques.

Whether displayed in a living room, bedroom, or hallway, the Handwoven Halfa Mirror adds a touch of natural elegance to any space. Its unique texture and artisanal charm make it a statement piece that reflects both the beauty of Tunisian craftsmanship and a commitment to sustainable living.

In summary, the Handwoven Halfa Mirror, woman-made in Tunisia using sustainable halfa, represents the fusion of traditional weaving techniques, sustainable materials, and cultural heritage. It is a testament to the skill and creativity of Tunisian women artisans, and it adds a distinctive and environmentally conscious touch to your home decor.

About brand
The Artisan

Bushra Kechiche

Bushra lives in the beautiful coastal town of Hergla, 10 km north of the city of Sousse. Passing white buildings with blue doors and bright pink flowers hanging overhead, you'll stumble upon her workshop where she creates beautiful homeware and accessories using natural materials. Halfa is her speciality- wild growing organic grass which is picked, soaked and dried before being handwoven into products to sell.
We discovered her in an online Tunisian artisans forum and immediately liked her contemporary styles with this traditional method of making, passed down to her by her mother. She received start up support from the Kechiche family, also native to Hergla but now living and working in France. This enabled her to have her own workshop, access tools and start attending trade fairs across Tunisia where her work is gathering attention.
When we first met Bushra was excited about the prospect of exporting but hadn't gone through the logistics of doing so before. With support from The Wee Souk and the dear Kechiche family, within two months of meeting Bushra our first order arrived.

Her mirrors, ceiling lights and kilim cushions are available to buy now.
