Slippers women

The story behind

On this page you will find a large selection of Moroccan slippers, also called "babouche", for both men and women. The French word "babouche" describes the flat Moroccan slippers, which are so soft in the leather. An open shoe where the heel flap is turned down. Deeper linguistic and historical research also reveals that the word is Persian in origin, from “Papush”, Persian پاپوش with “pa” referring to “foot”. The Moroccan slippers also have an exciting history. Around the 17th century, the babouche shoe became popular among the French courtiers, possibly because the extremely soft soles and soft leather symbolized a life of leisure, luxury and relaxation. Subsequently, babouche shoes and slippers became associated with nobility, elegance and comfort. These beautiful Moroccan slippers truly live up to this. They are made of quality goat leather that molds to the foot as you use them. Moroccan leather slippers for men and women are perfect both for use inside the home and for a walk on the terrace or in the garden, but also for use outside on a hot summer day or a trip to the beach. Combined with a delicious hammam towel, you really get the feeling of delicious quality and Moroccan comfort.

Moroccan slippers have also had a big impact on the fashion world. In the 1960s, the French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent fell completely in love with Marrakech. In fact, the city became a great source of inspiration for both clothes and shoes for the well-known designer who chose to settle in the city. He created a home that quickly developed into a thriving social hub for the fashion elite, in the heart of Marrakech, and which can still be visited today. It is a pilgrimage of sorts for fashion lovers and architects alike. Yves Saint Laurent is therefore to be thanked for, in his own way, bringing the beautiful Moroccan traditions and designs onto the global fashion scene.
