Tilila Babouche Mule

The babouche is Morocco's oldest silhouette — a pointed slipper worn for centuries in the medinas of Fez and Marrakech. The Tilila is our version: hand-woven raffia over a supple leather sole, shaped and stitched entirely by hand in our Marrakech atelier.

— Hand-woven natural raffia upper
— Veg-tanned leather sole and insole
— Made by hand in Marrakech, Morocco
— Each pair is unique; slight variations in weave are the signature of handwork

Care Instructions

Raffia is a natural fiber and handles water well — a light rain or a splash won't harm your flats.

If they do get wet, let them dry fully in the sun before wearing them again. Natural materials absorb moisture, and drying completely keeps the weave firm and the shape true.

To clean, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking, machine washing, or direct heat sources like radiators.

Please Note

Each pair is woven entirely by hand. Slight variations in weave and tone are natural and part of what makes your pair yours.

Each MARRAVIE piece is made to order — woven and finished by hand in Morocco, especially for you. Your piece is crafted within approximately 6–7 business days, then sent by tracked international carrier and typically delivered within 7–10 business days of dispatch — most orders arrive within 13–17 business days of purchase. Tracking details are shared the moment your order leaves our atelier.

Shipping is complimentary worldwide. Within the United States, all taxes and duties are included — the price you see is the price you pay, with nothing to settle on delivery. For orders outside the United States, shipping remains complimentary; any import taxes or duties charged by your local customs are the responsibility of the recipient.

Because each piece is made to order especially for you, we are unable to accept returns for change of mind. We stand fully behind our craftsmanship: if your piece arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, write to us within 3 days of delivery at hello@marravie.com and we will replace it or refund you in full — including any return shipping. Gentle variations in shape, color, and finish are natural in handmade work — the signature of true artisanal work, never a flaw.
