The babouche: a unique piece of Moroccan craftsmanship

Each slipper is a comfortable and unique piece of flexible footwear, adding a designer touch in no way distorts its traditional appearance.

Origin of the babouche

The word babouche owes its origins to papush (from Persian). This term is composed of two parts: pa (foot) and push (to cover), which simply means shoe. Commonly called belgha بلغه in Arabic or charbil in traditional circles, it can be used to provide shoes for young and old, men, women and children.

The confection draws its inspiration from the ancestral beauty of the country, which is reflected in the patterns and pompoms shaped by the maâlem (master craftsman), without forgetting the contemporary touch in the choice of materials and shapes.

All occasions are good to wear the Moroccan babouche: large or small ceremonies, in an outdoor walk or simply at home as slippers. With a djellaba, modern caftan or takchita during a party or wedding, a gandoura, blue jeans or shorts for a casual look that goes everywhere that gives value to your clothing.

The return of the Moroccan babouche

Moroccan slippers are making a comeback, a product that owes its noble titles to the quality of the product itself but also to its manufacture. Here we are talking about high-end quality, designed as it should be with genuine full-skin leather. It is above all a natural product, which is shaped in the purest Moroccan tradition. Entirely hand-sewn by specialists in the field, they are the product of elaborate craftsmanship without the slightest flaw.

Available in several shapes, whether round, flexible, pointed, with or without the legendary pompom. Nowadays they meet a need for comfort and associated elegance. Hence the interest for men as well as women, to have at least one pair available.

A little detour on the confection

The success of manufacturing is due to the fact that it is still done today in the traditional way. The skills of the craftsmen in Fez and Marrakech integrate the notion of know-how, respect, quality and innovation. Their design is entrusted to Master Craftsmen only, and the assembly of each leather slipper is carried out in the traditional way. All the stages of cutting, assembly and adjustment meet the comfort expected by the clientele. These are top quality skins that are selected to ensure their flexibility, strength and comfort.

As popular as it is practical, the babouche also has no flaws, when a trendy touch is added, it is dare we say the foot. While preserving its identity, we wanted to bring a designer touch to its appearance. Without distorting its traditional aspect, the affect wants us to be able to marry it at leisure with modern styles. Having wanted to make it compatible with the biggest ready-to-wear brands is what makes all the difference here. Inspired by the trends and colors in vogue, it is an accessory that will be very difficult to do without...

Different shapes for men and women

Designed in different forms. First, we distinguish the elegant and flexible pointed ones. The Berbers (mules) with a rural style and the oriental ones rather urban. To meet the multiple demands that continue to increase day by day. A wide range is produced daily by the craftsmen. The materials used during the phase are ecological and natural.
