Few garments. Made well, in Morocco.
Three permanent styles, cut and sewn in small runs in Marrakech from organic Moroccan cotton. No seasons, no sales — every piece carries its full cost breakdown and the name of the atelier that made it.
What a tee actually costs
Every product page prints this sheet. We pay the atelier a negotiated make price, add transport and duties, and take one fixed margin. Traditional retail marks the same garment up four to six times.
Comparable retail price: €90 → mektouba €35

Figures from production run PA-0143, July 2026. Sheets update with every run.
Cotton & fabric
GOTS-certified cotton, knitted and woven in Casablanca. Every bolt carries its lot number onto the garment label.
Cut & sew
A twelve-person atelier we visit every run. Make price negotiated openly — it is printed on the cost sheet.
Quality control
Every piece checked before it ships. Seconds are sold as seconds, at cost, never destroyed.
To you
Sea freight, not air. Slower, and we plan for it — that is what the production calendar is for.
“Mektoub — it is written. We just add the part where you know who wrote it, and what they were paid.”
One letter per production run
When a run leaves Marrakech, we write about it: the fabric lot, the people, the numbers. No discounts, no countdowns — good clothes are not impulsive.
