Authentic, handmade sandals, produced in the depths of the Marrakech souk by an experienced shoe artisan. The sandal is made from beading and leather creating a Moroccan style look. The product is for wear by ladies - but we have plans to create children's sizes for girls too! As a sandal, it would be ideal during your holidays, even British spring or summer weather or even just around the house if you wish!
What distinguishes this footwear product from the rest is that it is handmade with care by a local artisan and his team in Marrakech. It is a high quality footwear, not something that is repetitively made at a factory. Every bead and stitch oozes a personal touch with no sandal ever being exactly identical. You will feel like you’ve taken steps in the Djemaa El Fna by wearing these. (And it’s always great to feel like you have something that no one else quite has.) The design of the sandal itself is unique. Our artisan in Marrakech is the only one to make this design and it cannot be found anywhere else in the souks, in the city or online.
We will not be opening a retail outlet for the foreseeable future but will instead be handling customer service via online through our social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter). And, of course, our online shop mazices.com.
It is key to note that fashion designers have been increasingly using Moroccan patterns and style inspiration in their collections over the past few years resulting in African and Moroccan influences to be the biggest trend to hit swimwear and fashion for Spring/Summer 2015 - Nicolas K being one of many to present a Moroccan inspired collection at NYFW this year. Not only that but Marrakech was voted Trip Advisor’s top destination in the world for 2015 with celebrities flocking from everywhere to experience the culture and magic of the country. At this point in time Morocco, and Marrakech in particular, is seen as a very trendy and exotic place. With this statement being made in the retail market and in the social spectrum, now is as better time than any to feed this hunger for exotic and trendy luxuries – namely, our Mazices sandals. Every woman is now being held under the influence that Moroccan prints and styles are bohemian and stylish and are attempting to shadow the celebrities that adorn themselves in these exotic prints from exotic places.
Sandals currently on sale in the UK and US may have Moroccan influences but are made in factories from various international destinations such as India/China etc. We are addressing that need of luxury meeting authenticity. We are supplying the market a product not found anywhere else in the UK or US, or even in Marrakech for that matter and not only that, but we are addressing the growing fashion and social trends of the decade.
