The best part of our job is being able to travel when designing or searching out new and creative products. For a couple of weeks now we have been in the city of Marrakech. We just love this city and country as it has so much to offer! The people here are warm and friendly, many coming from families of artisans who have shared their practice with each new generation. Most of the products here are made by hand and with careful thought and attention. There are many French designers that have followed those like Yves Saint Laurent, settling in the area to infuse their modern ideas into ancient artisan practices. This has created a melange of old and new that is quite impressionable.
We took the day off today to explore more as a leisurely tourist and walked through Le Souk (the old medina), exploring little shops, visiting designers, eating delicious tangine and drinking mint tea. A little time by the pool and some walking by night...it was the perfect day. A glimpse of our day and photos can be viewed on our Facebook page, check it out!
