In this blog, we'll delve into the world of Moroccan leather, showcasing the various stages of production and the diverse range of products available on the Moroccan market.
We will begin the history of leather with tanning techniques. Tanning is the process by which hides are transformed into leather. In Morocco, the technique used is vegetable tanning, using plant extracts to transform the hide into leather. This technique protects the environment and produces leather that is both supple and durable. Once the leather has been manufactured using this technique, we can then decide which products to showcase and make available to national and international buyers.
The following is a summary of the main stages in leather production:
The next stage is leather preparation. The leather used is typically sourced from cow, goat, or camel hides. The hides are then cleaned, dried, and tanned, often with vegetable tannins, to produce a supple and durable leather.
The next stage is cutting. The leather is cut according to specific patterns to create the different parts of the sandal, such as the sole, straps, and ornaments.
Assembly: The leather pieces are sewn together by hand using robust techniques to ensure the durability of the sandal.
Finishing: Sandals can be dyed, embroidered, or decorated with pearls and other ornaments to add a unique aesthetic touch.

Moroccan craftsmen employ tanning and sewing techniques that have been passed down through generations. Each pair is handmade, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and superior quality.
The history of babouches dates back to the 12th century, when they were first produced in Morocco and quickly gained popularity worldwide. Babouches are typically crafted from leather (goat, sheep, or cow) through a series of processes, including leather tanning, cutting, assembly, and decoration. These shoes are known for their embroidery and pearl embellishments, as well as their distinctive flat, pointed shape, which provides comfort and breathability.
Moroccan sandals are crafted through an artisanal process that combines traditional techniques with expertise, involving a series of stages.
The leather selected is of good quality, from goat, sheep or cow, known for its durability and suppleness. The sole chosen depends on style and use, and can be leather, rubber or wood. Cutting is precise and meticulous, with a fine finish. This ensures that each pair is unique and of the highest quality.
