A-LIST SHOPS

Rue de la Liberté
Newly opened
LOFT
is a wildly popular
French bistro and
wine bar with a vibe
that’s part New York
Meatpacking District,
part post-colonial café.
The food, though, is
true to its roots, with
excellent terrines
and charcuterie, a
killer steak and duck
shepherd’s pie.

Mohammed and Hamid
have a vast selection
of rugs and carpets
at
BEN RAHAL
,
specialising in those
from the Atlas, Rif
and Haouz regions.
You can tell what the
women were feeling
by the weave,” says
Mohammed. “If it’s
simple, you know they
were happy. When it’s
complicated, there was
trouble brewing.”

The magic of shopping
at Ben Rahal is that
every rug comes with
its own story

Each is one of
a kind and they’re all
beloved by an A-list
clientele, including Susan
