Zellige

"He who finds a new path is a pathfinder, even if the trail has to be found again by others." – Ibn Khaldun (14th-century historian and philosopher)

This quote speaks to the innovative spirit of artisans and craftsmen, like those who built the Medersa Bou Inania. It acknowledges the enduring impact of their work, whose legacy continues to inspire and be rediscovered by future generations—much like how our zellige capsule collection draws from these timeless masterpieces.

Nestled in the heart of Fes, the Medersa Bou Inania is a masterpiece of Moroccan architecture and craftsmanship. Built in the 14th century, this Koranic school is renowned for its intricate zellige tilework, which adorns its walls with mesmerizing geometric patterns. Every tile is a testament to the harmony of mathematics and artistry, representing the beauty of human hands guided by divine inspiration.

Our collection draws from this rich heritage. Each embroidered zellige piece mirrors the detail and precision of the tiles that have adorned Bou Inania’s walls for centuries. Like the medersa, our designs are a celebration of balance, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty.
