Morocco is home to some of the world's oldest and most celebrated leather craft traditions. The tanneries of Fez, operating for over a thousand years, produce some of the finest leather in the world — dyed using natural pigments and shaped by hand into beautiful, lasting goods.

The Art of Moroccan Leatherwork

  • Fez Tanneries — ancient stone vats where hides are soaked, scraped and dyed using traditional methods
  • Natural Dyes — saffron for yellow, poppy for red, indigo for blue, and henna for orange
  • Handcrafted Goods — bags, pouches, belts and slippers (babouches) shaped entirely by hand
  • Genuine vs Faux — authentic Moroccan leather has a distinctive smell and develops a rich patina over time
