Meet the Artisans

Rkiya Ibchine:I am married and a mother of five sons, who are all enjoy studying dermatology because it is my husband's profession. I work hard in my association because I want my children to have a bright future. I have experiences in weaving and sewing and focus on continuous training in this field. I would love to innovate more designs and grow our traditional handcraft industry. In my spare time, I take care of my children well and visit family and relatives. I love reading magazines and do search online.

About The Women's Leather Collective Of Marrakech

The Women's Leather Collective was founded by Rkiya Ibchine and Souhad El Bahiz and is one of the very few, if not the only leather collective founded and run by women in Morocco. Souhad's husband was a famous leathersmith, who received an award as one of the best artisans in Africa in 2000. However, her husband fell severely ill and could no longer work and it fell to Souhad to continue her husband's business and craft. Since then, Souhad has thrived and has turned her husbands one-man business into a thriving cooperative that employs 7 women and brings on more members when larger orders come through. Several years ago, Souhad met Rkiya at a local craft fair, who was an expert seamstress and they decided to join together and have been inseparable since. Today, their cooperative products some of the best leather work on the market due to Souhad's expertise in leather and Rkiyas knowledge of sewing. Their ambition is as big as their ability, and they hope in the near future to move from their small workshop to a large store in the old medina of Marrakech.
