Morocco blends you with tradition

Morocco blends you with tradition

Morocco is an exclusive and breathtaking place which most of us would love to visit. The incredible miscellany all over the country, the color and buzz of the medieval medinas would truly be a memorable experience for each one of us. The Moroccan culture is so affluent and unfathomable which makes you discover more. They are also very affluent in history and traditions which strongly influences on their clothing and the way in which each Moroccan women and men dress. They treasure their cultural heritage and are proud of it. Moroccan clothes which are a part of country’s history are considered as one of the most treasured things in Moroccan culture. Depending on age, family, location and marital status their dressing also varies. Some people also wear t-shirts and tight jeans.

Djellaba, a lightweight woolen fabric is considered as one of the most traditional clothing for both men and women. Djellaba is a loose robe commonly worn throughout Morocco. This is something which you cannot miss from the moment you step into Morocco. These are full sleeve loose long robe with a hood worn on top of whatever you wear and purpose is to hide your figure. There are northern and the southern djellaba for men and kaftan for women. Both men and women wear official clothes like Djellaba on special occasions. Men also be dressed in a red cap called bernousse, commonly known as Fez on special occasions which add to the beauty of their attire and women prefer Kaftans garlanded with beautiful ornaments. Most people in Morocco prefer Djellaba the most because of Islamic religion and it covers the whole body. Thus Djellaba is considered as one of the modest outfit in Morocco.



Kaftan is traditional clothing in Morocco. These are mainly worn during weddings and also during celebrations. Kaftans are similar to Djellaba, the only difference is that Kaftans do not come with a hood and are fancier than Djellabas. Some Moroccans completely cover their head with djellaba while others do not. Even though Kaftan was originally for mens, gradually women also captured.

Gandora is also common clothing in Morocco. It is also a typical robe which comes with short sleeves and they do not have a hood like Djellaba. It has a pocket on one side and a slit on the other side. The sleeve openings and the neck region is decorated with strong embroidery which makes it a traditional Moroccan garment.

Most Moroccan women prefer “Moroccan wardrobe”. This is an expensive garment as most of the work is finished by hand. Even though it is expensive, most women buy at least one latest takchita or kaftan every year. These are commonly worn on religious festival, wedding and on special social events. Next is the tarbush also known as terbouch. Terbouch is a truncated cone which symbolizes a red felt hat. Belgha baboosh or the leather slippers also comes in this list. Some men also wear the traditional Sahrawi called the derraa which is loose short made of blue cotton.

Many fashionable clothes are there for women in Morocco, but the Kaftan is one of the most famous dresses used by women. With time it has undergone many changes but it is still considered as one of the most fashionable cloth which has withstood many modern touches as well.

What is "djellaba" ??

he classic Moroccan garment is called "djellaba", a long and loose hooded gown which Moroccans  wear it over their normal clothing. It covers the entire body except for the head, the hands and the feet and it comes in different colors, styles and fabrics depending on the season. During summer a cotton or rayon djellaba is preferred, while during winter a wool one.


The djellaba is worn traditionally both by men and women, but the women's djellaba differs in style as it has brighter colors and decorative embroidery. 

Men's djellabas

Women's djellabas

An important characteristic of the Moroccan djellaba is the hood, a long and pointy hood called in arabic "cob". 

Another traditional garment worn this time only by women is the kaftan. It looks like the djellaba, but it doens't have the hood. The kaftan can be simple for day to day and it can also come in a more elegant and sofisticated style worn by women on weddings or celebrations. It is also the bride's garment on her wedding day. 

The kaftan is usually worn with an exterior garment called "Dfina" and a belt called "Hezam"

The Material – Malas Fabric:

The main material is of a black colour and is called 'Malas'. It is a high quality Egyptian cotton based fabric with a very particular texture. The fabric is malleable, light, strong and 'wrinkly'; hence the kaftan needs no ironing. Malas Fabric is traditionally used by the people of the Siwa Oasis to create beautiful wedding dresses.

To get a detailed view of the Bedouin embroidery and Malas fabric please make sure you view the pictures above.

About the Authentic Bedouin Embroidery:

We took an Antique Bedouin Kaftan that was too torn apart to refurbish and carefully removed from it the embroidery. 
The embroidery was then sewn over the soft, light, wrinkly and fresh Egyptian Malas Fabric.

The embroidery is handmade, complex and colourful. The more the detailed handwork, and coloured threads used, the more value the caftan was given by Bedouin tribes. Please make sure you view the pictures above and also click all the links on this page.

General Information About the Bedouin Kaftan from which we removed the Embroidery:

A long time ago a Bedouin family in Egypt made this caftan (from which we removed the embroidery) purely by hand. The handwork is very detailed and it took a very long time to complete. Female Bedouin family members passed on this particular caftan from generation to generation; it was also used as leverage. Egyptian Bedouins are well known for their handwork and it is on these kaftans, passed on from family to family, that they expressed themselves with no restraints. It is like the caftan is at first a plain black canvas that they turn alive using their hands and colourful cotton threads while sitting on the sand. The result is a unique piece of art handmade following traditional methods.

Bedouin women wore the caftan for every day use or special occasions such as weddings. Rarely do we find Bedouin families that wish to sell their handmade caftans for money. In Egypt these Bedouin caftans started making their way into common non-Bedouin family homes because city people started realizing the tangible and intangible value of these fabulous Bedouin creations. Some (city people) wear them at home or to special events. A few people can afford them. 

Other buyers give such an intense importance to the value and tribal history of the Bedouin caftan that they cherish the caftans at home as home decoration (e.g. frame the caftan and hang it on a wall).

If you’re looking for a way to revamp your living room with an exotic touch, the Moroccan style may be just what you need. Pulled from cultures that indulge in rich tones and luxurious fabrics, this decorating style is vibrant and elegant. Let this approach pull you in to create a stunning room everyone will envy. Does this Spark an idea?


1 Go with a bold color scheme for your living room. With the Moroccan style, you have plenty of colorful choices. Look for rich, vibrant colors to add life to your room. Choose one primary color and two to three accent colors. Deep red, royal purple, warming orange, fuchsia, mustard and intense periwinkle are just a few colors that fit the theme. Find a neutral accent color such as beige or cream to equalize this combination.


2 Paint a Moroccan-inspired color on your walls. Give your living room personality with color. If you have an orange, yellow and brown theme, put a warming mustard color on the walls. If you have a bold color scheme, pull a vibrant color such as deep periwinkle or teal to create an exotic ambiance.



3 Purchase comfortable furnishings that allow you to decorate with color. Dark woods with elaborate carvings and inlay represent the Moroccan style. Find furnishings that are low to the floor. Look for sofas and chairs with cushions made from brocade fabrics. Another alternative is finding a sofa in neutral colors and piling various sizes of colorful pillows on it. Look for a wrought iron table for added flair to your living room.

4 Add Moroccan-inspired fabrics. Look for cushions and throws that add comfort and color. Moroccan fabrics often have pleasing weaves, which add dimension to rooms. Add little accents for a big impact. Use ornate tiebacks on your curtains or a mosaic frame by the sofa.

5 Add lighting that enhances your Moroccan theme. Use lamps to deliver spots of warm light throughout your living room. Seek out unique floor lamps, such as intricate wrought iron or brass. Light candles to enhance the mood of your room.

6 Accessorize with texture to complete the look of your Moroccan-themed living room. Find rugs with unique weaves that include colors from your decor. Ceramic tiles on the floor add color and texture.

7 Use potted plants to add an earthy quality to your living room. Large, exotic plants reflect the African and Mediterranean environments.
