Marrakesh Silk Habotai Scarf

DESIGNER'S NOTES A multi-coloured Fox & Chave silk habotai scarf with a mosaic design of typical of those seen in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh. Marrakesh stands as one of the most vivid expressions of zellige in architectural and decorative design, where the craft is embedded in both sacred and secular spaces. From the 12th-century Kutubiyya Mosque to the ornate interiors of the Bahia Palace and the Saadian Tombs, zellige tiles cover floors, fountains, and walls with intricate geometric precision. The city's artisans, trained through generations, produce hand-cut tiles in traditional shapes and glazes, assembling them into complex compositions that balance colour, form, and repetition. Zellige in Marrakesh is more than ornament, it is a language of devotion, mathematics, and cultural identity. Its presence in riads, hammams, and modern design boutiques continues to link historical craft with the evolving visual life of the city. COLOURS STYLING A Fox & Chave habotai silk scarf can be worn with the classic knot style or a pussycat bow. You can even create a shawl effect by knotting two scarves together behind your neck and allowing them to drape over your shoulders.
