“
SCÈNES DE LIN
is one of the few
businesses to still have
a workshop on the
street,” says owner
Anne-Marie Chaoui,
“
but much of the detail
is done in the homes of
our team of craftsmen
and women.” One look
at the hand-stitched
table linens and
upholstery fabrics will
have you fixating on a
revamp at home.

Men often get short-
changed when it comes
to groovy footwear, but
not at
ATIKA
,
where
brother and sister
team Kamal and Atika
Benhalima sell butter-
soft leather shoes
made in their factory
in Casablanca. Brightly
coloured loafers and
suede brogues are a
gentleman’s treat, while
ladies can buy patent-
leather ballet pumps.

Time was when the
Rue de la Liberté
was full of Moroccan
cafés, and groups of
men sitting outside
in the sun sipping
mint tea and chatting.
A handful still exist,
including the
CAFÉ
GLACIER ZOUHOUR
,
with its jaded interior
contrasting with a
classically Arabic
façade. It’s a top stop to
watch the world go by.

The mix of old and new, traditional and modern on leafy Rue de la Liberté
has always been a big part of its charm. As many locals say, “It’s like having a
little piece of the south of France in the middle of Morocco.”
Hand-finishing on
the fabrics and home
accessories in Scenes
de Lin gives these
pieces the edge
