babouche-selma-paillettes

The Moroccan tarbouch, also known as the fez, is a traditional and iconic headwear that holds deep cultural significance in Morocco and beyond. This distinctive red hat, typically made of felt or wool, is characterized by its flat crown and tassel that hangs down from the center.

The history of the tarbouch dates back centuries, with its origins tracing to the city of Fez in Morocco, from which it derives its name. Originally worn by the Ottoman Empire’s elite class, the tarbouch eventually became a symbol of prestige and style across North Africa and the Middle East.
