5.00Such a lovely experience, had a great laugh keeping the needle in space and to stabbing my fingers. Khadija was amazing and extremely helpful and patient. Frequently checked on progress to make sure it was going well and correcting any mistakes. Definitely a must do when you visit Marrakech for a cute momento.

5.00I absolutely loved my time at Original Marrakech Bag Workshop! The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, making it such a relaxing break from the busy city. The workshop was easy to follow, really helpful, and so enjoyable—even as a beginner. It felt more like a therapeutic, creative experience than just a class. Even though it took me a lot of tries and mistakes - I got there in the end and my bag I’m going to use it to put some plants in🌷 I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Marrakech. Such a fun and memorable experience! We had an amazing experience with Khadija ❤️

5.00I booked this last minute due to a cancellation for a different activity because of the rain and I had the best time! It was just me so we actually were able to move through the activity quickly and I got personal one on one support. It was a really lovely afternoon activity and the tea and cookie were the perfect way to enjoy a rainy afternoon.
A very fun activity
