Photographer Tim E White and I reported on a trend happening in one of Marrakech’s oldest and most authentic neighborhoods. Check out the 4-page feature on pages 26 through 29: http://traveller.ink-live.com/desktop/stage/default.aspx?pubname=&edid=3488e914-10b7-41c5-9c57-39650bb56c1c&pnum=27
I included Mustapha in the Local Knowledge section of the article on page 28:
“Kaât Bennahid’s foundouks are turning into artisan workshops today, doing away with the middlemen so you deal directly with the artisan and pay less. I have friends in these workshops; one man I know is making babouches [pointy shoes] more than 60 years in the same shop.” -MC
