Chefchaouen is one of the north's best places to shop for quality traditional crafts. Wool items and leather goods are the main local export: look in small medina stores for thick blankets, rugs, bags, and shoes.
This small, sweet-smelling store—the name means Aladdin's Grandma's Apothecary—is a riot of color and awash with the fragrances of rose, amber, sandalwood, vanilla, Damascus jasmine, and more. The owner creates around 20 different types of handmade soaps, body oils, lotions, and solid perfumes made from all-natural, organic ingredients. Beautifully packaged, they make perfect gifts to take home.
This small cooperative workshop produces high-quality goods that are beautiful and inexpensive, including hand-painted wood boxes, handwoven blankets, original art, and leatherwork.
