Enfin
Trim, modern, hottie tunics for men in sumptuous materials and colours: deep red linen, ivory with black trim around the neck, black raw silk with a single off-centre grey stripe. Prices aren't cheap, but with the right bargaining banter you can get better deals here than in Enfin's factory outlet in Sidi Ghanem. The pink-and-black boutique and sharply dressed staff are incongruously glitzy for the raw, hardworking northern section of the souqs - but that's what makes Enfin so quintessentially Marrakesh.

Aimad Roi Des Babouches
Quicker to catch on to new fashion trends than many other clothing shops in the souqs, Aimad also has a much more easygoing sales pitch. Recent styles include linen tunics edged with a crenulation motif you'll recognize from Koutoubia Minaret and well-lined sabra (cactus silk) slippers without the recently-tanned scent you'll find in shops closer to the tanneries.

Craft Vendors
Maputo has a wide selection of reasonably priced crafts. In the upper part of town, try the Craft Vendors who spread their woodcarvings and other wares daily in front of Hotel Polana; hard bargaining is required.

Rafia Craft
One of Essaouira’s great product is its raffia work, made from the fibres of the doum palm. For the most stylish designs, try Rafia Craft, which sells much of its line to European outlets.
