One of the trendier shops in the Souk, L'atelier Michi wouldn't feel out of place in New York's NoLita or the streets of Le Marais in Paris. The owners, a Japanese-Moroccan duo, have spliced Tokyo minimalism with traditional Moroccan artisanry. So babouche slippers are crafted from grain sacks, raffia baskets are trimmed with recycled leather handles, and hand-carved bowls are given a sleek, modern finish. The shop is a masterclass in taste, and each item from the salad spoons to the fired-clay ornaments would be as at home in a riad courtyard or a Parisian apartment.
Celebrating the country’s exceptional natural bounty, The Moroccan Botanist houses an extensive range of organic teas and herbal blends from the country’s finest botanicals. In its apothecary-style store at the Jardins Majorelle – and select locations across the city – each carefully curated infusion, from invigorating to soothing, invites you to savour the scents and flavours of Morocco.
