Ladies' Babouche – Oriental Goat Leather Slippers from Marrakech
Babouche are handmade Maroccan genuine leather shoes, that we recommend to you as shoes for the house or outside. The soft goat leather of these Moroccan shoes (Babouche) adapt to the shape of your foot in a very comfortable way. Gundara imports the Babouche directly from the producer (Mr. Hassan) in Marrakech. The nice thing about purchasing Babouche through Gundara is that through this direct way of production as much money as possible stays with the local artisans themselves and it is not lost through numerous middlemen. The entire value chain takes place in Morocco. The leather is tanned there, dyed, if needed, and then the shoemaker makes these nice oriental genuine leather slippers out of the soft goat leather. Babouche are a nice present for good friends, so that they keep warm feet at home!
The Leather is genuine goat leather painted in red or orange. The sole is rubber.
Brand
Hassan is from Marakech itself and was born there in 1984. He runs his workshop in the center of Marakech together with his father from whom he learnt the craft.
Depending on demand they hire two to three more craftsmen to help them out in the workshop. Hassan is not so much of a morning person, that is why his dad runs the morning shift and he comes in before noon.
