From Sahara to Sligo…

If these boots could talk they would tell quite a tale! They’re handmade with real pieces of magic Moroccan carpet. I bought them in 2003 on a backpacking trip I took with my best friends. A journey that has many a funny story I can tell you! One of our favourite pit-stops in Morocco was to the Souks that were at the heart of every town. I spotted these handmade boots on a stall in the Marrakesh Souk and spent 2 days pretending to sip mint tea and haggling for them until the exhausted seller caved in and said “she is like Berber” to my friends, meaning I was driving a VERY hard bargain. I have worn and adored them ever since. They’ve spent two years in the wardrobe, until today that is, when I figured they were prefect for trudging the snow of Sligo
