Empowering 
women

Welcome

We are a women's cooperative based in Sefrou, Morocco. We specialize in traditional jewelry and accessories handmade with natural materials. The cooperative engages in many regional and national social activities which help improve the lives of rural Moroccan women through economic independence. ​​

- accessories
- women's empowerment 

" Amina is the fearsome Queen of Buttons - the tiny, knotted kind that romp down a jellaba, that earn a woman bread to eat.  But not just buttons - she is also introducing weaving to women for the first time in this culture -  half a dozen looms buzzing on the ground floor of her own house; and she is teaching women about natural dying, about marketing and accounting, about self-sufficiency, self-respect, sovereignty." ~Susan Hull Walker, Founder of Ibu Movement
