A 100% Moroccan Artisanal Marketplace

Arabastta is an online platform dedicated to authentic Moroccan craftsmanship, created with a bold mission:
to connect local Moroccan artisans with handmade lovers all over the world.

Founded in the heart of the Marrakech Medina, Arabastta is both a physical shop and a digital space where every product tells a story — one of tradition, skill, and culture passed down through generations.

Our Mission

At Arabastta, our mission is twofold:

  1. To promote and preserve Moroccan craftsmanship in all its forms: pottery, woodwork, blown glass, raffia, carpets, ceramics, leather goods, jewelry, and traditional textiles.

  2. To empower local artisans by providing them with a professional platform, business tools, and tailored marketing support to help them grow.

What Makes Arabastta Unique

  • 🧵 Handmade & Authentic: Each product is carefully selected to ensure it is handmade, high quality, and rooted in Moroccan heritage.

  • 🌍 Global Reach: Our e-commerce site enables Moroccan artisans to sell directly to customers in Europe, North America, and beyond.
