The weaving tradition in Kabylie dates back centuries and is still practiced today. Women typically learn to weave from their mothers and grandmothers, and the textiles they produce are used for clothing, household items, and for sale in local markets. The weaving process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the resulting textiles are highly valued for their quality and beauty. - Buy Now:
