Where to find us

You can shop Berberbae items online for the moment.

We have plans to open popup stores in the future, so subscribe to our newsletter so you don't miss out on our physical private sales.

Our talented artisans

We work with several artisans based in Marrakesh, Casablanca & Rabat. We have chosen each of them for their specific talents, whether in embroidery, sewing, weaving or beadwork.

They are talented entrepreneurs, and by purchasing a robe, you contribute to create a real positive chain of value locally, as it provides work to 7 artisans in Morocco.

Our sustainable approach

As an ocean lover, your bae is very happy and proud to say that BerBerBae is plastic-free. We don't use any plastic in production, packaging or transport.

We also recycle scraps of upholstery fabric to create our pouches.

Upcylcled packaging

We recycle overstock scraps of upholstery fabric to create a pouch to carry and protect our precious creations to maintain our sustainability efforts. Because of this effort, each pouch becomes unique to each garment.

You may receive your order a week after you placed it if everything goes well, but we prefer to give a 1 to 3 weeks window just in case there is any delay to manage your expectations.

Since silk is a lightweight material, we send our creations in a large, thick envelope by post.

Your order should arrive like a letter in the post. However, for international orders, you are responsible for import duties and taxes applied on your order depending on your country, if that ever happened. If your package has been lost or damaged, please contact the courier which it has been sent.

Washing & drying instructions

We recommend to wash your precious silk items one at a time by hand. Fill your basin with cold water and add a gentle detergent that is free of harsh ingredients.

Place the garment in cool water and let it sit for just a few minutes with your detergent.

Silk releases dirt quickly so the process doesn't take long. Next, drain the soapy mix and rinse with cool, running water.

Never wring out your silk items or toss them in the dryer. To remove excess water, place the wet garment on a cotton towel. Fold the towel over and gently blot. Then, using a hanger, hang the robe over the bathtub to drip dry.

The drying process shouldn't take more than an hour.

Ironing

We recommend using a steamer on your dry silk garments to gently remove wrinkles, while ensuring that the steaming temperature does not get too hot to avoid damaging your garment.

If you only have an iron, turn your garment inside out while it is still slightly damp, and choose a low setting before pressing gently.

Is your website secure ?

Absolutely, yes. On any page where you are asked to enter your address, phone number or credit card information, we use a secure server through Shopify that keeps your information safe. Just look for the little lock in your browser window. 

Will an item be back in stock ?

Each piece is its own work of art, a very limited edition. 

However, we always try to find the same fabrics we fell in love with, so a garment may be back in stock.

We recommend to email signup to be the first to know when will be our next collection. As soon as we're able to secure a new creation, you will be emailed the moment that the inventory goes live again so you get first dibs!
