Traditional Moroccan clothing, such as the caftan and djellaba, have been worn for generations and are still cherished today. They have stunning patterns with elaborate embroidery and vivid colours with expensive fabrics like silk and velvet, and intricate features like beading and tassels. Vintage Moroccan fashion features unique pieces that reflect the country's rich history and artistic heritage.



Exploring the Rich Fabrics of Morocco


Traditional Moroccan fabrics, like 'Fassi' silk, are handmade with amazing skill and attention to detail. They usually incorporate shapes, floral designs, and embroidery. Another popular fabric is 'Sabra', or cactus silk, made from agave plant fibres. It has a distinct sheen and is commonly used in rugs, pillows, and clothing.


Highlighting the Story of Moroccan Vintage Jewellery

Traditional pieces often feature deeply culturally significant symbols, such as the Hand of Fatima or the evil eye. The use of colourful gemstones like coral and turquoise gives these classic designs a lively twist. Moroccan vintage jewellery, whether in the form of a statement necklace, a pair of stunning earrings, or a delicately carved bracelet, is a precious piece that perfectly captures the grace and beauty of Moroccan culture.
