The smar is the rush cultivated in the marshes between water and land, in the north of Tunisia, precisely in the Cap Bon.
Once sorted and dried, the rush is woven in stripes of different widths, using a loom fixed to the floor, into placemats, rugs, and baskets.
Anouar has been weaving since he was a child. He was trained by the senior weaver of Nabeul
Our rugs can be used as bedside rugs, hung on the wall, in the garden, and can be stored once rolled, and knotted with a leather tie

I have kept to the original model and created another with the two colours of Nabeul’s old pottery’s traditional enamel.

Our artisan Habib kept his old wheel as well as his manual skills. He is one of the last potters in that potters’ area on the hillside, in the surroundings of Nabeul, where these bowls were wheeled.

These bowls are available in three sizes: 25, 17 and 11.5 cm

Let’s imagine Odette Touitou, a young lady in the sixties, in Tunisia.
This dress was both her beachwear and her morning dress.
It’s one of the most beautiful memories I have of my mother, simple and elegant.
This “little” traditional dress worn at home, along with the «fadhila» knitwear, the “Takrita” headscarf - that women farmers traditionally tie over their heads- were the favorite outfits of the modern ladies at that time, as to underline a link between their identity, the tradition and a modern way of wearing them. I’ve adapted this traditional dress using blue chambray and grey chambray shirt material. 

Material : 100% cotton
Style :

Blue chambray version
Grey chambray version
Bib and sleeves with ribbons and braids. 

The conception of this pair of plates in inverted colors combined the three-striped pattern of the fouta and the hand-made ceramics.
They can be used as serving plates, dinner plates or just to put on a dresser.
The Foutamics plates artisan-ceramists, work besides Maren, a German in love with Tunisia, where she settled 20 years ago and created her workshop dedicated to handmade ceramic, le Lézard Rouge.
