'Marib' Pomegranate Red
Drawn from the fertile valleys surrounding Marib, where pomegranate trees have long flourished against a backdrop of desert and dam, this shawl carries the deep maroon richness of ripened fruit at harvest. Its red tones are layered with subtle hints of blue and fine touches of gold—like the glimmer of water channels running through ancient earth and the seeds of the pomegranate catching light within their crimson shell.
'Marib' Pomegranate Red reflects a landscape shaped by cultivation and resilience. The color speaks to nourishment drawn from the land, to orchards sustained by one of Yemen’s most storied regions, and to the enduring connection between soil, water, and craft. The weave mirrors this balance: grounded and warm in its maroon base, yet lifted by cooler blue undertones and delicate golden accents that echo the richness found within every opened fruit.
Worn draped or wrapped, this piece carries both depth and vitality—an homage to Marib’s agricultural heritage and to the artisans who continue to preserve Yemen’s textile traditions with patience and care. It is a shawl rooted in abundance, memory, and the quiet beauty of what the land continues to offer
