Men's Babouche Slipper 12
This pair of babouche slippers is made by hand in our atelier using up-cycled Bourcherouite rugs. We hand-source these 50-to-100 year old rugs from the Berber tribe located in the Ourika Valley (High Atlas mountains) just 40 miles from Marrakech.
The Boucherouite rugs are handwoven from natural, un-dyed wool and incorporate Berber motifs, including traditional and significant decorative patterns, symbols, and designs such as zigzags & diamonds, tribal symbols, Berber scripts (Amazigh), and among many others, geometric patterns.
The Moroccan babouche slipper derives from the Arabic 'babush' or Persian 'papush'. The iconic open-back sandal design is said to reflect the fact that its wearers (often monarchs and 17th century French courtiers) lived a luxurious lifestyle.
