Discover authentic Moroccan babouche slippers handcrafted by skilled artisans in Marrakech. Our collection features premium leather house slippers perfect for indoor comfort and effortless style across USA, Canada, and Australia.

What Are Moroccan Babouche Slippers?

Babouche (also spelled baboush or babousch) are traditional Moroccan backless slippers that have been worn for centuries across North Africa and the Middle East. These iconic leather mule slippers feature a distinctive pointed or rounded toe and are designed to be slipped on and off effortlessly—making them the perfect house shoes for modern living.

Unlike typical slippers, authentic babouches are crafted entirely by hand using time-honored techniques passed down through generations of Moroccan leather artisans. Each pair tells a story of craftsmanship, culture, and comfort.

Authentic Handcrafted Moroccan Leather Slippers

Handmade by Master Artisans in Marrakech

Every pair of our Moroccan slippers is handcrafted in the historic medina of Marrakech, where leather-working traditions date back centuries. Our artisans use traditional tools and techniques to cut, stitch, and finish each slipper with meticulous attention to detail.

What makes our babouches authentic:

• Hand-cut from premium full-grain leather
• Hand-stitched using traditional methods
• Natural tanning processes without harsh chemicals
• Individual craftsmanship—no two pairs are identical
• Made in small batches to ensure quality control

Premium Quality Leather Materials

We use only the finest Moroccan leather, sourced from local tanneries and naturally processed to preserve softness and durability. The leather is vegetable-tanned and hand-dyed using traditional methods, resulting in rich, vibrant colors that age beautifully over time.

Benefits of genuine leather slippers:

• Breathable material keeps feet comfortable
• Naturally molds to your foot shape for custom fit
• Durable and long-lasting with proper care
• Develops beautiful patina with wear
• Antimicrobial properties reduce odor

Size Guide & Fitting Tips

How Moroccan Babouches Should Fit

Authentic babouches are meant to fit snugly at first—the leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape within the first few wears, creating a custom fit.

Fitting guidelines:

• Your heel should sit comfortably in the slipper (not hanging off the back)
• Toes should reach the front without curling
• Slight tightness across the top is normal—leather will stretch
• If between sizes, size up for wider feet

Care & Maintenance Guide

How to Care for Leather Babouches

Daily care:

• Allow slippers to air out when not in use
• Avoid wearing in wet conditions
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Stuff with newspaper to maintain shape when storing

Cleaning instructions:

• Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth
• Use leather conditioner every few months to maintain softness
• For stubborn stains, use specialized leather cleaner
• Never machine wash or soak in water
• Allow to air dry naturally if damp—never use heat

Extending lifespan:

• Rotate between multiple pairs to reduce wear
• Use a protective spray for light water resistance (optional)
• Condition regularly to prevent cracking
• Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight which can fade colors

Break-In Period Tips

New leather babouches may feel slightly stiff or tight—this is completely normal. The break-in period typically lasts 3-7 days of regular wear.

To speed up the break-in process:

• Wear thick socks initially to stretch the leather
• Wear for short periods (1-2 hours) at first
• Gently flex and bend the slippers by hand
• Apply leather conditioner to soften faster
