Home decoration and garden stores Marrakech

Sufiane Zarib learned the art of carpeting from her father, who in turn learned it from his father. Today, he concentrates on design and the choice of materials. Their transformation as well as the making of the carpets are entrusted to some 500 employees. It takes no less than that to satisfy the orders of his customers, who are fond of these woven pictures. Soufiane's favourite area is the Beni Ourain, a thick ecru carpet recognizable by its rhombuses. The creator is inspired by tradition but does not exclude a touch of modernity.

A solution for all those who abhor haggling: go directly to Ben Rahal's house, which is no longer on display in Marrakech since they have been in business for over 60 years. That's how well they know the subject. Any other reason? It's a shop for connoisseurs, frequented by decorators and interior designers. There, the most beautiful carpets from Moroccan tribes are gathered, some of which are magnificent, dating from the 70s and can even be used as wall decorations. We are far from the tourist attractions that sell reproductions...

In this small shop of Souikat Bab Doukkala, Sarsar and Abdellah show their art. One paints on canvas, the other on metal plate, diverting with sometimes a touch of second degree and humour from scenes of Moroccan daily life. More often, trades or archetypes are represented in a naive and colourful style. Other plates of the same type can be seen here and there in the medina, but these seem to be of good workmanship. The prices can be negotiated, but it is necessary to stop at the right moment.

A small shop run by Youssef and Tarik who have fallen in love with the traditional pottery of Tamegroute, a village located in the Draâ valley. Known for its library of precious books, it is also known for its characteristic green ceramics. "The clay used at Tamegroute naturally contains copper," says Youssef. The enamel is also charged with it. The shop offers several everyday objects, from small cups to vases. Pretty blankets and woven fabrics are also eye-catching. The reception is pleasant.

Carpets... carpets... and more carpets, all picked up by the owner Alix, who has been living in Morocco for several years. Marrakech has found its new shopping address in the heart of Guéliz in this tiny shop. The selection offers a beautiful showcase of Moroccan know-how and a palette of varied styles and materials. Buying at Alix is also the guarantee of a fixed price, which seems expensive, but fair (here we honorably pay our suppliers). Here, as elsewhere, we offer you to manage your shipments to Europe easily.
