It’s so good to see that AG is collaborating with a Moroccan family business to sell these slippers, unlike the likes of Celine, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Balenciaga who just copied the babouche design and then sold it for ridiculous prices.
Love seeing an outsiders point of view of my country, it renews my appreciation of Morocco's uniqueness, which is something I sometimes take for granted or even find inconvenient. Nice vlog AG!
Riad is a traditional Moroccan house..usually with a court yard inside. It was meant for a family with with more than one wife in order for each wife to have her own privacy and no one could see their doings from the outside. That was the examination I got when I visited lol
Okay great, I personally could not verify any of what mentioned regarding it’s use for a family with multiple wives. A riad has been a thing since Roman times. For anyone interested, here’s what the wiki has to say: A riad (Arabic: رياض, romanized: riyāḑ; also spelled "riyad") is a type of traditional Moroccan and Andalusi interior garden or courtyard associated with house and palace architecture.[1] Its origin is generally attributed to Persian gardens that spread during the Islamic period. The term is nowadays often used in Morocco to refer to a hotel or guesthouse-style accommodation with shared common areas and private rooms, often within a restored traditional mansion.
Fatiemah Benjamin pardon me, ive edited that comment to remove anything that could have been interpreted as impolite. All I wanted to do was add some context and nuance.
Goodness girl, if you were to embody a place it would be Marrakech! Everything design-wise is your style. You must love that place so much! Thanks for taking us along on your trip, it was very interesting. I know someone who travels often to Morocco, it's his favorite place to visit, but I've never seen it like you showed it! P.S. Would love to see those slippers in an aqua or seafoam color!
The Adhan (call to prayer) is profoundly beautiful just on my phone, can't imagine how moving it is in person. I encourage people of all religions to listen to it because it's in Arabic but you feel the passion of it without knowing the translation.
It will be interesting to watch how your slipper line expands in coming years. I can immediately imagine possibilities for the button on accessories; bells or holly leaves during Christmas season, or bows or diamanté brooches for more formal looks
Wow! I can really see Morocco influencing your style now! Beautiful!! Thank you for showing us all the things!! 😊❤ Love the story behind your Pom Pom slippers! Very special
I am so happy that you like Morocco 🇲🇦, I am so proud to be Moroccan, I live in Florida and most of the people here don't know where's Morocco 🇲🇦, then again most of them are ignorant.
I have always wanted to do this trip (but hesitant because I’m not sure how wheelchair-friendly it would be)… thank you so much for posting! I get to live vicariously through you ❤️❤️❤️
I've noticed that you incorporated moroccan elements quite often in your designs ! You should definetly explore cities other than marrakesh ( i feel like you would love Essaouira especially ) , Fez, Rabat, tangier , chefchaoen (the blue city)....
So fun to follow along on your trip! Morocco is one place I have always been inspired by too, and always wanted to go! I would LOVE to see a team AG makeover inspired by this riad 😍
Riads are actually old merchants' homes, since a medina was a centre of trade. Normally one building would host a whole family, with many levels and a patio in the middle usually with a fountain, and tiled floors. Many of those riads are now converted into accommodation for tourists.
I’m going to Marrakech in October 2024 and staying at a riad with a similar look. So excited! I also love Moroccan food,design, decor, and influence. Can’t wait!
Thanks for giving me early morning vicarious thrills by vacationing in my dream destination! Thanks for the riad tips. One day, I’ll get there and hope to have as much fun!
Alexandra - your channel has the best opportunity to do a where are they now series for us - everyone wants to see how the rooms get changed post makeover so they can be lived in. With so many team makeovers you could show us what no other channel can! Where are they now???
Hi Alexandra 🌸 - Looks like you had an amazing time in Marrakech, so happy that you took this holiday! Marrakech looks beautiful, I have never been but would like to visit there one day ✈️ Also, I wanted to say that you and the AG team are really amazing as people as well as for what you all do, I love the channel, and I appreciate all the hard work, time and effort that goes into the makeovers/projects, vlogs and creating content 💜 I hope everyone who was ill has recovered and that you are all doing well overall 🙏🏽 Stay safe and well 💖👑
I surfed in Morocco 🇲🇦 😎 for 2 weeks... The food, the beauty, the kindness, the dogs, the weather, the talented traditional crafter, the people. I shall be getting some pompom shoes once the link is up! .... and now I want to go again!!! Loved it! It's a vibe for sure!
ever since I discovered you it's been all about pom poms (and polka dots)!!! Love your authenticity, your humility doing tiny studio apartments for REAL people. Please don't ever leave T.O. Much love and best wishes for continued success.
The slippers are so good. I will take a size 5/6 in green suede with two colors of pom-poms. OK. OK. I know you aren't ready for orders yet but squeeee....can't wait. OP...just got to end of video....well, yeeees of course terra cotta suede. Love it.
I love your vlog. The riad looks absolutely stunning and I am super excited for the slippers. Always wondered where you got them from. Hope you also ship to Europe. 😍
I never thought of it that way, but you’re right! You ARE deeply connected to Morocco’s style and decor. It’s so you!! I can’t wait to order those slippers. 🥰
If you plan on going inland like in Marrakech (away from the Atlantic coast), better to go during the Spring or Fall seasons. July and August can definitely be very hot! Hope you get to enjoy beautiful Morocco soon!
I would loooovvvveeee a video on how the shop works! Like you just went to them and bought product or are they the ones making AND shipping them? And you are just showcasing it in your shop? I see you tubers make shops a lot these days and I’m so curious how that all works!
Love the slippers and also the idea of the signature PomPoms - but - I imidiatelly thought it would be cool to have also some kind of leather patch option - maybe with you logo - to clasp on, if it was kind of a “not a Pompom day” ☺️☺️🤪 love your work 🤍
So eeexcittted to get those shoes!! I agree with @Cheryk Reynolds that is so awesome that you are giving that awesome family an opportunity to share those beautiful shoes with the world!!
I so much enjoyed this video, so full of colour, pattern, style and beauty... it really added such a burst of joy in my heart. Thank you for sharing 🤗😘
Thank you for showing us Morocco, definitely a beautiful place. That plant you showed us is not a huge aloe plant, it is an agave called a Century plant and that's pretty much the normal size for a full grown one.
Speaking of the aloe & agave, if you are ever in Santa Barbara, CA go to Lotusland. You’ll be amazed! There is an aloe garden section with like 133 varieties; agave as well.
It’s so good to see that AG is collaborating with a Moroccan family business to sell these slippers, unlike the likes of Celine, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Balenciaga who just copied the babouche design and then sold it for ridiculous prices.
Everyone copies in fashion, by her showing the samples someone will copy her design.
@@anas.9103 it's always in poor taste when a large organization steals the idea and moves operations to not-Morroco for profit.
Is the pool just for you?
Omg, Alexandra, I never realised until this vlog how much your style is inspired by Morocco. I love it
Me too... Its like her style
Me too!!!
My daughter and I went to Morocco in 2010. It was an unforgettable trip and my daughter still talks about it!
Welcome to our country! Hope you enjoyed your time heree!!
Love seeing an outsiders point of view of my country, it renews my appreciation of Morocco's uniqueness, which is something I sometimes take for granted or even find inconvenient. Nice vlog AG!
Morocco, my country. i'm happy you love Morocco. I have been such a huge fan or yours for a while.
Morocco is a special place indeed. Soulful. I'm from Morocco too but living abroad. But Morocco is always in me. always.

Think you meant "explanation."

@@TheKaurK I said this was the explanation I got when I visited no one forced you to agree with me. Have a wonderful further. 😊
@@lovingmayberry307 yes 😳you are correct

Absolutely loved this vlog content from you, Alexandra! So fun! 💖 & Morocco looks like an absolute dream! Thank you for sharing your trip with us!! 🤗
Slipper’s are so cute , hope you keep them affordable and love the house with the pool ✌️💜
Marrakech is a dream. Thank you.

Alexandra and this Moroccan craftsman are pom pom soulmates!
I LOVE the chairs in your room!! ❤❤❤

You are glowing like a brand new mama! Congratulations on the slipper adventure with interchangeable pom-poms!
So fun to follow along on your trip! Morocco is one place I have always been inspired by too, and always wanted to go! I would LOVE to see a team AG makeover inspired by this riad 😍
Love the slippers!
I’ve never been to Morocco, but from what I’ve seen, I would love it there! The shopping, the colors, it looks beautiful!
With this vlog, Morocco is definitely on my bucket list! 😍
Super cute! Those are like Tinkerbell slippers!! Love them! 😍🧚🏻✨

I adore Marrakech and the Jardin Majorelle. Can't believe you've never been there when you've been to Marrakech so many times!
Alexandera said she and her mom had been there, but Noah (1st trip) and her dad had not.
Definitely on my bucket list since forever!
Always something new with Alexandra! Always a treat to watch your vlogs.
I have always wanted to go to Morocco!!! I’m sure I will never make it there so thank you for sharing your trip with all of us!!
Me too. Hopefully we both will.
Thanks for giving me early morning vicarious thrills by vacationing in my dream destination! Thanks for the riad tips. One day, I’ll get there and hope to have as much fun!
Loving the food!! That breakfast looked amazing!
So nice to see you, Noah and your parents enjoy your vacation in Morocco. Love the slippers and your fav pom poms 🤗😍

Love the black and white pillow behind you in the office. The shapes resemble some of the ones that were in Morrocco, the buttons.
Everything looks amazing! 🎉 thanks for sharing ❤

I would lose my mind in those stores. I love everything!!!!

Ana (think inventing Ana) loved Morocco and YSL’s garden!
So excited for you and this process of growth. 🥳
ever since I discovered you it's been all about pom poms (and polka dots)!!! Love your authenticity, your humility doing tiny studio apartments for REAL people. Please don't ever leave T.O. Much love and best wishes for continued success.
Thanks for sharing your trip and I can assess that you are definitely influenced by the Moroccan decor and architecture. Beautiful country!

The slippers and mirror and knobs holy cow!! The Riad is beautiful. How to pick a color of they are all beautiful. Love this idea!!
You should totally do a full Moroccan style makeover!!
Fascinating. Loved every second!
Thank you for doing what you do for this incredible country and their arts and talents! 💚
Would you consider taking a small number of people along with you next time & you & your family being the “tour guides”. Morocco looks amazing!!!
Always LOVED the warmth of the Middle-East style!!!! Thank you for sharing and the slippers are really cute. 🧡💛
I love your vlog. The riad looks absolutely stunning and I am super excited for the slippers. Always wondered where you got them from. Hope you also ship to Europe. 😍

Hi Alexandra, I am new to this Chanel, and after watching this video, I can see your Moroccan inspiration. Totally!
Can’t wait! Love this style of shoe

I love all of this. Your design is my absolute favorite. And this shows it all. and Congrats on the slippers endeavor. So inspired by you!
Omg those shoes are Soo you! Love it!
That yellow tray reminds me of the peep hole frame from friends haha
You MUST have dinner at Le Foundouk. The chicken bistilla is out of this world! Enjoy magical ❤ Marrakesh.
Moroccan food... the best! Well, I'm a bit biased as a Moroccan myself
OMG I loveeeeeee the Morocco videos!! I saw the one before and I was looking for more!! thanks for sharing this!! awesome!!
You seem so peaceful and at home there :) Thanks for showing us around!
This was such a fun video ❤
Thanks for this beautiful pictures and inspos
Thanks for sharing this. I really enjoyed it. It's so fun to see places I will never get to go to. And that tub. The courtyard is so beautiful.
Like a PopSocket, but for shoes and slippers!! Love it!
Oh, Morroco is travel goals for me. How hot is it? Istanbul is another great place to visit.
If you plan on going inland like in Marrakech (away from the Atlantic coast), better to go during the Spring or Fall seasons. July and August can definitely be very hot! Hope you get to enjoy beautiful Morocco soon!
What a beautiful country it seems! 🥺❤️
Little tinkerbell slippers in white with green pompoms would be so cute. 😍
Loved that you brought us along on the visit to Marrakech! Gorgeous! And those tiles!!! Love the slippers and pom-poms!
I love the tiles.

The shoe business and tweaks are genius! Congratulations!

Oh my days, I feel a combination holiday/ shopping trip is in need of planning. That wavy mirror at Atelier Landan(?) was beeyootiful 😍😍
i would love to see more shopping videos
-central Wisconsin: Your hanging pom-poms will also make nice curtain tieback accents, in certain styles & with certain clients.
Congratulations!! 🎉❤
I’ll Rock the Poms!!
So will my almost 13 yr. old daughter!! 😀🥰💖💗
Oh I hope these are ready for Xmas!
Love the slippers and also the idea of the signature PomPoms - but - I imidiatelly thought it would be cool to have also some kind of leather patch option - maybe with you logo - to clasp on, if it was kind of a “not a Pompom day” ☺️☺️🤪 love your work 🤍
This has been my favorite video yet! And I can’t wait for the Pom Pom shoes! It is beautiful there. Thank you for the tour. 😉
