I have been working in the Marrakech Souk for the longest time and I’ve always been inspired in my fathers work. He does wholesale of pouches and bags created from upholstery fabric, my first source of inspiration came from him.
But before designing and creating, I’ve always had an interest in thrifting, and styling. I always found myself going to markets on the weekends or in the mornings. I discovered a lady who would always source vintage blankets from the Atlas Mountains that dated back to the early 2000’s. This is where I decided to create and up-cycle pieces of my own using those beautiful colourful pieces. In this journey, I have made custom orders for customers from my fathers store but I’ve also made wholesale for my customers to resell.
As I started to create and sell, I’ve recently come across many online stores as well as stores in the Souk that have started to copy the concept and idea of my designs.
So I’ve stopped putting my designs in the medina, and as much as I want to share my designs on social media and in the Souk, I feel like I always have to refrain from it until I am able to have a store away from the Souk.
This listing is for anyone who would like a custom piece as I will happily do so.
All you need to do is send me a message and I can send you colour options, let me know whether you would like the stripes to be vertical or horizontal.
And measurements, or any adjustments to the details of the piece.
Any questions, feel free to ask.
