DESCRIPTION
Owned by Heather Tucci-Jarraf and her Moroccan husband, Youssef Jarraf, this store is a treasure trove of handcrafted items from Morocco. The Jarrafs' space features graceful scalloped arches, mosaic tilework, fossilized marble-topped counters and an intimate Moroccan-style seating area.
You'll find everything here to create your own little slice of Marrakech: massive, hand-carved wood furniture inlaid with silver, coral and camel bone; fossilized marble fountains, sinks and vanities designed by Youssef Jarraf; decorative and functional tagines of every size; colorful pottery decorated with silver; silver teapots and tea glasses; reversible textiles suitable for upholstery, drapes and pillows; whimsically shaped lighting made with color-saturated goatskin; traditional-style Berber carpets; and mosaic tiles for any home design project.
The couple adheres to fair-trade practices and works directly with the artists to ensure that the craftspeople are paid appropriate wages for their crafts. And they hope to bring awareness of Morocco and its culture to the Puget Sound region at special events throughout the year; for more information, call or visit the store and add your name to their mailing list.
