Barbouche

A barbouche is a type of slipper or babouche traditionally worn in North Africa, particularly in Morocco. It is characterized by its soft, pointed toe and backless design. Barbouches are typically made of leather, often dyed in vibrant colors such as yellow, red, or green, and may be adorned with intricate embroidery or other decorative elements. They are worn by both men and women, primarily as indoor footwear or for short trips outside. Different styles and levels of ornamentation can denote social status or be associated with specific regions. The barbouche is an integral part of Moroccan culture and is often purchased as a souvenir by tourists.
