These are morocan wedding blankets. Apparently when a morocan girl gets married she is given one of these blankets to wear on her wedding day. I have loved these since the first time I saw them and can't wait to get one! I think they go for about $300-$500, you can click the link to a place that sells them. Oh, the woman that sells them also sells the coveted Berber rug.A little history in her own words on apt therapy:
"They are Berber in origin and were/are woven by women weavers. Each sequin painstakingly sewn on by hand. A single blanket can take many months to produce, depending on the complexity of design and the number of sequins. The loom in Morocco is treated as a living thing and treated with extreme care. If the weaver takes care in the weaving process, then the textile she produces is believed to have talismanic power and to protect the user from the evil eye."
