Shoe shopping in Africa

  1. A

    Tesoruccio

    If your tiny go-getter needs some traction, try these cool German-designed, Moroccan-produced, orthopaedically correct kids' shoes. Little glam rockers will go for the soft, distressed-leather combat boots, and you'll wish they had those embossed lime-green leather sneakers in your size. Kids already bored of shopping will enjoy the playground out front.

    Coin purses, wallets and handbags in all colours abound in this shop (from around DH5). Sandals and round-toed Berber slippers cost around DH30 to around DH100. There are pouffes from around DH55 to around DH300: goatskin is at the upper end of this price range, while tooled camel- and goatskin is Dh150.

    Every colour and style of babouche you can think of is displayed in the otherwise rather drab Souk L'Bali, including red or yellow round-toed Berber slippers for men.
