Marrakech's Kasbek: and modern Moroccan chic
Well she knew Kasbek was special as soon as she saw the glamorous curtain and the stunning Moroccan tiled floor from Popham Design....
The boutique was small-ish but large enough to have secrets hidden away in gauzy Mauritanian fabrics.
The special-est of all were the caftans.......The jersey ones were particularly slinky and body-conscious.
And the vintage caftans had her channeling her inner Talitha Getty....
There was fabulous ethnic jewelery to wear with your caftans (or, umm, your T-shirt and jeans).
Oh, tribal baubles paired with a cinched, airy caftan. So fresh and stylish.....
The lovely proprietress, Rebecca, an Australian painter, was woman-ing the fort. The other half of Kasbek's duo, Kassie, was sipping mint tea in Tangier temporarily.
The blogging girl knew she'd be back.......to Kasbek.... Maybe you'd like to go, too?

Yes please! I would love to go. :)
Gorgeous colors, it would be hard to pick just one. I am afraid I would leave with the entire shop.

I am really sad about that you didnt got your pack from me.. I had made something to your princess also..:-( How much did this slippeers cost, I can pay you for them!! :-) This shop you are showing today is just lovely!!! I would like to go there. By the way, My appartment is for rent this easter from 14-24 mars (you can see more picture of it on my site) ,so if you know somebody who wants to go to Copenhagen they are welcome. Have a nice evening :-)
