Origine & production
Handwoven by Mehdi in Tunisia, a master of the craft who knows all the tricks of the trade.
Its irregular stripes are the result of a unique artisanal weaving technique, combining chevron and flat patterns.
Each item is individually and meticulously crafted by hand, with careful attention to every detail, which may result in slight variations in size, color, or finish between each piece.
Care instructions
We recommend hand washing or machine washing on a cold, delicate cycle with no spin to avoid damaging the natural fibers. Use a gentle liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Hang to dry.

THE CRAFTMAN & THE WORKSHOP
Jibel has taken the key of olive fields, embarking on a reverse journey from the sea, rolling straight towards small whitevillages, where the people live off seasonal harvests in the tranquility of the desert.
A journey through time in the middle of the pampa finally leads us to the long-awaited "Open Sesame".
The lair of our weaving craftsmanship is hidden somewhere between a peninsula and an ancient city, in the heartlands of El Jem and Mahdia.
Our beautiful fabric spools awaited us there, after a long summer vacation in the famous Tunisian customs (one day we'll tell you about it).
Master Mehdi gets to work here, sharing with us his strong affinity for ancestral artisanal techniques and the intense ristretto from the nearby café.
Here, the days are marked by the sound of hands and feet meticulously operating the looms with precision and delicacy.
A strong and steady sound, a rhythm that serves as a radio, a gentle melody where decibels softly pass by, the voice of Jibel.
