Hand-Woven Cotton Tarboush from Fès Medina

In the narrow workshops of Fès medina, where the call to prayer echoes off ancient walls, skilled hands work cotton into the classic tarboush that has crowned Moroccan men for generations. Each fez emerges from traditional looms, its soft cotton fibers catching light like morning sun through mashrabiya screens.

What Makes It Special

• Pure cotton construction breathes naturally against skin, offering comfort through Morocco's shifting seasons
• Hand-woven technique passed down through generations of Fès artisans
• Imperial city craftsmanship from workshops that have shaped tarboush tradition for centuries
• Classic silhouette honors traditional proportions refined over generations

The Craft Behind It

Cotton threads are carefully selected and prepared before meeting the artisan's loom in Fès medina. Each tarboush takes shape through methodical weaving, the fabric gaining its characteristic soft hand and subtle texture. The form is shaped while damp, then left to dry naturally in the workshop's filtered light—a process that cannot be rushed.

Care Instructions

Spot clean gently with cool water when needed. Allow to air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the cotton's natural softness. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the tarboush's shaped form between wearings.
