Atelier Doré à Marrakech
6 years ago by
Ces quelques derniers mois, on a partagé avec vous notre bonheur de transformer le site et le studio en Atelier Doré. Vous avez sans doute aussi compris que cet enthousiasme s’étendait à de nouveaux produits…
Aujourd’hui, je suis très heureuse d’ouvrir la boutique spécialement créée autour de la retraite qui va avoir lieu à Marrakech. C’est la première des nombreuses occasions qui nous permettront de donner vie à nos idées et expériences, et de les partager avec vous.
Toute l’équipe a pris plaisir à créer et sélectionner des produits avec des amis et collaborateurs pour vous offrir des produits venant de Marrakech ou inspirés par les lieux. Ce qui est proposé ici sera exclusivement vendu sur le site, en collaboration avec nos partenaires.
Cabas en cuir Stories + Objects
On adore Stories + Objects car, comme pour nous, le story-telling est l’un des piliers de leur identité. Jamie et son équipe ont voyagé de par le monde, attentifs aux histoires et aux traditions des meilleurs artisans. Ce cabas en cuir a été fabriqué à Fès dans un cuir d’une douceur et d’une souplesse incroyables. Nous l’avons rehaussé de notre nom en lettres dorées. Doré, c’est toujours une bonne idée, non ? (Indice : Oui)
Caftan Marrakshi Life
Quand on a publié la Style Story de Garance à Marrakech cet été, vous avez été nombreux à nous questionner sur son caftan. Vos prières sont exaucées ! On a collaboré avec la marque qui l’a créé, Marrakshi Life, pour vous proposer ce modèle à notre image, jaune. Il a été tissé à la main et coupé (un travail aussi beau qu’impressionnant) par des artisans de Marrakech, dans un tissu à la texture luxueuse, et vous trouverez d’infinies possibilités de le porter (et de l’Instagrammer).
Gel douche + brume à la fleur d’oranger Chabi Chic
Le rituel du bain, c’est sacré, et on s’est dit que ce petit kit vous permettrait de vous détendre et de vous rafraîchir. Avec Chabi Chic, une marque de Lifestyle pleine d’esprit créée par deux Françaises qui vivent au Maroc, on a mis au point ces produits inspirés par Marrakech et imprégnés de fleur d’oranger et d’argan.
Un immense merci à nos collaborateurs Stories + Objects, Marrakshi Life, and Chabi Chic
400€ le caftan ??? À ce prix là, je m’offre et billet pour Marrakech et le caftan. Plus ça va moins je me retrouve dans ce blog. Dommage…
Hi Bree,
When considering the price of the caftan it’s also crucial to consider that it was hand made by local artisans in Marrakech using high quality fabrics. Unfortunately, when products aren’t produced en-masse, the price tends to be higher. It’s important to us that we support small, local business that embody traditions that have been around for hundreds of years. Especially when those business are in places that are welcoming us into their culture and community, as Marrakech is for our retreat next week. We also understand that not everyone can afford products such as this, which is why we’ve included items here at a range of price-points. We are happy to be able to celebrate creatives through commerce which helps them sustain a living. I hope you can appreciate that, too!

Would be fun to have a shopping event for the launch :) Congrats team!
Congrats on this launch! The products are amazing. Wish I could be there for your retreat in Marrakech.
I may have to put that travel poster in my shopping cart!
On my page, I’m reviewing a miracle broth for the face! https://www.bitesizedreviews.com/blog/product-review-olay-regenerist-miracle-boost-concentrate-advanced-anti-aging-fragrance-free
WOW!!!! So excited!!!! Can’t wait!
Il n’y a pas grand chose que je peux me payer, mais c’est vraiment très bien « curated » pour votre retraite, tout est très tentant!
Ç’est chouette mais malheureusement pas accessible à tous……
La premiere photo est in vrai coup de soleil !
Bienheureux ceux qui iront a Marrakech.
I would really liked to have purchased a Tshirt but was very disappointed to not see any larger sizes. As a “normal” size woman, a medium/large just won’t fit. Please remember that not all of your readers are thin French women.
Hi Laurie,
We hope as our brand presence grows we will have the resources to expand our size ranges. For the moment we are working with limited resources and have produced small runs of all of the products included here to gauge initial interest. We are not interested in expanding widely into apparel, as we agree that sized products–from clothing, to shoes (like Garance’s size 41 feet!)–can be a challenge for many reasons. We appreciate your feedback!

I have been a fan of this blog since 2009 and have watched its growth with interest. I applaud your stated commitment to work towards showcasing more sustainable and ethical fashion. So I do understand why the caftan, for example, is at such a high price point. I do wonder, however, how much of the profits actually go to the local artisans. That would be something worth knowing, because labor practices are a crucial part of ethical fashion. Also, on a slightly different note, I’d love to know the provenance of the T-shirt. Where was it made? And what is its fabric content? Inquiring minds want to know!
Hi Judith!
The t-shirts are 100% cotton and are produced in Egypt and finished in Los Angeles. The factory they are made in is in compliance with the Fair Labor Association Workplace Code of Conduct and is certified by Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production, a non-profit team of global social compliance experts. We have included product details and specifics for each product on their product pages.
As for the caftans, you can learn more about our partners for this caftan, Marrakshi Life, here.
Thanks!

How tall ia Garance? I am wondering because you say her footsize is 41 but some information sites proclaim her as 5.2”. She looks so tall on photos. Thank you
Hi Yulia! Garance is 5’7 :)
Congratulations on the launch of your new shop!
I think it’s very inspiring, and I love the choice of products. I also love the thoughts into who you are working with for this shop and it’s products; the ethics, sustainability (which I’ve learnt about in the comments). It’s amazing that your readers feel comfortable to voice their opinions, and you answer our queries honestly.! It’s like, we’ve supported you for so long that we feel a part of it and want that reassurance that Atelier Dore still harnesses practices that we love about you. At first I felt a bit defensive with some of the stuff in the comments but I realise, it’s because we care!
Though the prices do lean on the higher point, I hope that at some point I can treat myself! I’d love to support this new venture and the artisans you are working with x
Good luck with it all!
Thank you so much! xo
