TRAVEL EDITION: MARRAKECH, MOROCCO
Many great designers discovered the inspiring beauty of Morocco before us. Therefore, we couldn’t stay behind and wanted to experience the magical vibes of the country and especially the city of Marrakech.
Magical describes the atmosphere of Morocco perfectly. We were amazed by the rich deeply rooted culture, the kind people, the buzz in the city and the soft terracotta coloured sandstone walls of the ancient Medina. It felt like the walls were safeguarding the beauty of the historic city.
Now and then, we got a glimpse behind closed doors in the Medina, either entering a beautifully curated riad or finding hidden treasures of local Moroccan craftsmanship, still undiscovered. Our goal was to find inspiration for our brand NUMÉRO 202020 and we totally understood, why Morrocco inspires so many people creatively.
NATURAL DYEING
In one of the small back alleys of the Medina, away from all the buzz, we discovered this little gemstone, a small atelier, where wool fibres are still dyed manually. Wool is protein based and therefore the protein in the wool binds really well with the pigment, making up a dye. The pigments are extracted from natural sources, like plants, leaves or flowers.We instantly got inspired and fell in love with the coloured hanks of wool hanging down from the ceiling.
We would like to welcome you to our NUMÉRO 202020 family. We're excited to share our story, exclusive collections and creative stories with you.
