Casablanca or more affectionately known as Casa has a population of three and a half million and is the largest city and port in Morocco. Originally modeled after Marseilles when the French landed Casa in 1907, Casa is the most European of Morocco’s cities and is known as a huge metropolis where modernity and tradition co-exist. As a shopper you can enjoy Casa’s bustling new town with modern shops or its old medina for a more traditional experience.

Moroccan designers, mostly from Casablanca. Artists include Harakat Sisters’ handbags, Younes Duret’s Moroccaninspired
accessories line, and Fashion Bakchic’s Berber-inspired fashion. While largely online, Kahenas does
