Authentic Moroccan Craftsmanship
Handmade by Master Artisans in Marrakech
Every piece in our collection represents 10-15 hours of skilled handiwork by experienced Berber craftspeople. Unlike mass-produced furniture from factories, these ottomans receive individual attention at every stage:
Traditional Leather Tanning: We use centuries-old vegetable tanning processes with natural materials—no harsh chemicals or synthetic treatments. This creates supple, durable leather that breathes naturally and ages beautifully.
Hand-Cut Precision: Artisans carefully select and cut each leather panel, ensuring consistent quality and color matching throughout the piece.
Expert Hand-Stitching: Using waxed thread and saddle-stitch technique, craftspeople create reinforced seams that withstand decades of daily use. Each stitch is placed with care, creating both structural integrity and visual appeal.
Quality Inspection: Before shipping, every ottoman undergoes rigorous examination. We check seam strength, surface uniformity, color consistency, and overall construction quality.
Premium Materials That Improve With Age
100% Genuine Goatskin Leather
We exclusively use full-grain goatskin—the highest quality leather available. Unlike bonded leather or faux alternatives that crack and peel within years, genuine leather becomes more beautiful over time:
-
Natural Patina Development: The surface develops rich character marks and subtle color variations over 6-12 months of use
-
Increasing Softness: The leather becomes more supple and comfortable with regular contact
-
Self-Healing Properties: Minor scratches and marks often blend naturally into the surface
-
Breathable Comfort: Natural leather regulates temperature, staying cool in summer and warm in winter
-
Sustainable Choice: Biodegradable material that doesn't contribute to microplastic pollution
Square vs. Rectangular: Choosing Your Perfect Shape
Large Square Ottomans (24"×24" to 48"×48")
Best Applications: Square designs work beautifully as centerpieces in symmetrical room layouts. They pair perfectly with sectional sofas, creating a natural gathering point in the middle of your seating arrangement. The equal dimensions provide balanced proportions from every viewing angle.
Design Advantages:
- 360-degree accessibility—guests can reach from any seat
- Maximum surface area for decorative displays
- Natural fit in the center of U-shaped or L-shaped seating
- Creates strong visual anchor in open floor plans
- Ideal for rooms with multiple conversation areas
Popular Sizes:
-
32"×32": Our bestseller, perfect for standard 3-seat sofas
-
40"×40": Statement piece for spacious living rooms
-
48"×487": Ultimate oversized option for grand spaces
Rectangular Ottomans
Best Applications: Rectangular shapes excel in front of traditional sofas and in narrow living rooms. The elongated form follows the natural lines of your seating, creating visual harmony. These work particularly well in smaller spaces where square shapes might feel too bulky.
Design Advantages:
- Fits naturally in front of standard sofas without overwhelming
- Better traffic flow in narrow rooms
- More surface length for serving trays and displays
- Emphasizes horizontal lines for streamlined modern aesthetics
- Ideal for pairing with two chairs facing each other

How to Style Your Leather Ottoman
Living Room Styling Ideas
As Primary Coffee Table:
Place a decorative tray on top to create a stable surface for drinks, remotes, and candles. Add coffee table books stacked at varying heights, a small plant, and a decorative object for curated style.
Paired With Existing Coffee Table:
Use your ottoman alongside your current coffee table for asymmetrical visual interest. The mixed materials (hard and soft) create dynamic texture contrast.
Sectional Centerpiece:
Position a large square ottoman in the open center of U-shaped or L-shaped sectionals. This creates the perfect pivot point for conversation and easy reach from all seats.
Dual Ottoman Setup:
Use two medium-sized square ottomans instead of one large coffee table. You can separate them when you need extra seating or push them together for more surface area.
Layered With Area Rugs:
Place your ottoman over a plush area rug to define the conversation zone. The leather-on-textile combination adds sophisticated layering.
Beyond the Living Room
Bedroom Luxury:
Position a rectangular ottoman at the foot of your bed as an elegant bench. Use it for laying out tomorrow's outfit, folding laundry, or as a comfortable spot for putting on shoes.
Home Office Alternative:
Keep an ottoman near your desk as alternative seating for brainstorming sessions or casual video calls. The change in posture helps creativity flow.
Entryway Welcome:
Place a compact square ottoman in your foyer as a convenient spot to sit while changing shoes. Top with a tray for keys and mail.
Reading Nook Essential:
Pair with an accent chair and floor lamp to create the perfect reading corner. Prop your feet up for hours of comfortable literary escape.
Care & Maintenance Guide
Daily & Weekly Care
Dust Removal:
Wipe your ottoman daily with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. This prevents dust buildup and maintains the leather's natural sheen.
Surface Cleaning:
For light soil, use a slightly damp (not wet) cloth and wipe gently in circular motions. Dry immediately with a clean towel.
Rotation:
If your ottoman receives heavy use as seating, rotate it 90 degrees every few weeks to ensure even wear and patina development.
Stain Management
Immediate Response:
Blot spills instantly with an absorbent cloth—never rub, as this spreads the stain. Most liquids can be removed completely if addressed within the first 60 seconds.
Water-Based Spills:
Blot with dry cloth, then wipe with barely damp cloth if needed. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Oil-Based Marks:
Use a specialized leather cleaner following product instructions. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
What to Avoid:
- Harsh chemical cleaners or household products
- Excessive water or soaking
- Direct heat for drying (hairdryers, radiators)
- Abrasive scrubbing tools
- Bleach or acetone-based products
Long-Term Maintenance
Conditioning (Every 6-12 months):
Apply quality leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent drying. Our chemical-free goatskin leather is naturally more resilient than delicate Italian leathers but still benefits from occasional conditioning.
Sun Protection:
Keep your ottoman away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and drying. Some natural patina development is desirable and adds character.
Professional Cleaning:
For stubborn stains or annual deep cleaning, consult a leather specialist. Our natural goatskin is compatible with most professional leather care services.
Family & Pet-Friendly Features
Safe for Children
Rounded Edges:
Unlike traditional coffee tables with hard corners, our soft upholstered edges eliminate injury risks when children play nearby.
Soft Impact Surface:
The cushioned leather top provides a forgiving surface if little ones bump into it during active play.
Easy Cleanup:
Spilled juice or snacks? Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth. The leather surface resists staining better than fabric alternatives.
Stable & Secure:
Our low-profile design (18" height) and weighted construction prevent tipping, even when toddlers use it as a climbing aid.
Pet-Friendly Design
Hair-Resistant Surface:
Leather naturally repels pet hair—no more vacuuming fabric ottomans daily. A quick wipe removes any traces.
Scratch-Tolerant:
While sharp claws can mark leather, minor scratches often blend into the surface naturally over time, adding to the lived-in character.
Odor-Neutral:
Unlike fabric that traps pet odors, leather doesn't absorb smells. Regular wiping keeps it fresh.
Durable Construction:
Reinforced stitching withstands the wear and tear of pets jumping on and off throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
About the Product
Q: Are these ottomans really handmade?
Yes, 100%. Each piece is crafted by individual artisans in Marrakech using traditional methods. Production takes 10-15 hours per ottoman, depending on size and complexity. You may notice slight variations between pieces—this is proof of authentic handcraftsmanship, not a defect.
Q: What's the difference between goatskin and cowhide leather?
Goatskin is softer, more supple, and develops better patina than cowhide. It's also more durable pound-for-pound, with natural water resistance. The grain is finer, creating a luxurious texture. We specifically use goatskin for its superior quality in furniture applications.
Q: Can I use these outdoors?
Our leather ottomans are designed for indoor use only. Direct sunlight causes fading, and moisture can damage the leather. For covered patios, bring them inside during rain and overnight. For dedicated outdoor furniture, consider our weather-resistant options.
Q: How much do they weigh?
Weight varies by size:
- 24"×24": ~25 lbs
- 32"×32": ~35 lbs
- 40"×40": ~50 lbs
- 47"×47": ~65 lbs
Sizing & Selection
Q: What size ottoman do I need for a sectional sofa?
For sectionals, choose ottomans between 32"×32" and 40"×40" depending on the overall size of your sectional. Measure the open center space and select an ottoman that fills about 60-70% of that area, leaving room for walking.
Q: How tall are the ottomans?
All our large ottomans are 18 inches high—the ideal height for use with standard sofas (which typically have 17-19" seat heights). This ensures comfortable footrest positioning and proper coffee table height.
Q: Can I see the colors in person before ordering?
We offer leather swatches for $10 (refundable with purchase). Request swatches of up to 3 colors to see and feel the quality before committing to a full ottoman. Swatches ship within 3 business days.
Care & Durability
Q: How long do these ottomans last?
With proper care, expect 15-30+ years of use. The genuine leather actually improves with age, developing rich patina and becoming softer. We have customers using ottomans purchased 20 years ago that look stunning with their naturally aged character.
Q: Will the leather crack or peel?
No. Unlike bonded leather or faux leather that degrades within 3-5 years, full-grain goatskin leather is incredibly durable. With occasional conditioning (2-3 times per year), the leather stays supple indefinitely. Any natural creasing adds character rather than indicating failure.
Q: Are these easy to clean?
Very easy. Daily dusting with a dry cloth keeps them fresh. Spills wipe away quickly if addressed immediately. The leather surface resists staining better than fabric alternatives. For deep cleaning, consult a leather specialist annually.
Q: Will the color fade over time?
Some natural color evolution is expected and desirable—this is the patina that makes leather furniture increasingly beautiful. To minimize fading, keep ottomans away from direct sunlight. Our hand-dyed leather is more colorfast than mass-produced alternatives.
Ordering & Delivery
Q: How long does shipping take?
Standard production is 6-9 business days, plus shipping time (10-25 days depending on destination). Total timeline: 2-5 weeks from order to delivery. Express options available for faster turnaround.
Q: Can I track my order?
Yes! You'll receive tracking information once your ottoman ships. Track its journey from Morocco to your door through our shipping partner's system.
Q: Do you offer assembly?
No assembly needed! Your ottoman arrives fully constructed and ready to use. Simply unbox, remove protective wrapping, and place in your desired location.
Q: What if I order the wrong size?
We recommend measuring your space carefully before ordering. Use painter's tape to mark ottoman dimensions on your floor to visualize the fit. If you're unsure, contact our team for personalized size recommendations based on your room photos.
