It’s so good to see that AG is collaborating with a Moroccan family business to sell these slippers, unlike the likes of Celine, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Balenciaga who just copied the babouche design and then sold it for ridiculous prices.
Love seeing an outsiders point of view of my country, it renews my appreciation of Morocco's uniqueness, which is something I sometimes take for granted or even find inconvenient. Nice vlog AG!
Riad is a traditional Moroccan house..usually with a court yard inside. It was meant for a family with with more than one wife in order for each wife to have her own privacy and no one could see their doings from the outside. That was the examination I got when I visited lol
Okay great, I personally could not verify any of what mentioned regarding it’s use for a family with multiple wives. A riad has been a thing since Roman times. For anyone interested, here’s what the wiki has to say: A riad (Arabic: رياض, romanized: riyāḑ; also spelled "riyad") is a type of traditional Moroccan and Andalusi interior garden or courtyard associated with house and palace architecture.[1] Its origin is generally attributed to Persian gardens that spread during the Islamic period. The term is nowadays often used in Morocco to refer to a hotel or guesthouse-style accommodation with shared common areas and private rooms, often within a restored traditional mansion.
Fatiemah Benjamin pardon me, ive edited that comment to remove anything that could have been interpreted as impolite. All I wanted to do was add some context and nuance.
Goodness girl, if you were to embody a place it would be Marrakech! Everything design-wise is your style. You must love that place so much! Thanks for taking us along on your trip, it was very interesting. I know someone who travels often to Morocco, it's his favorite place to visit, but I've never seen it like you showed it! P.S. Would love to see those slippers in an aqua or seafoam color!
The Adhan (call to prayer) is profoundly beautiful just on my phone, can't imagine how moving it is in person. I encourage people of all religions to listen to it because it's in Arabic but you feel the passion of it without knowing the translation.
I've noticed that you incorporated moroccan elements quite often in your designs ! You should definetly explore cities other than marrakesh ( i feel like you would love Essaouira especially ) , Fez, Rabat, tangier , chefchaoen (the blue city)....
Wow! I can really see Morocco influencing your style now! Beautiful!! Thank you for showing us all the things!! 😊❤ Love the story behind your Pom Pom slippers! Very special
It will be interesting to watch how your slipper line expands in coming years. I can immediately imagine possibilities for the button on accessories; bells or holly leaves during Christmas season, or bows or diamanté brooches for more formal looks
I have always wanted to do this trip (but hesitant because I’m not sure how wheelchair-friendly it would be)… thank you so much for posting! I get to live vicariously through you ❤️❤️❤️
I am so happy that you like Morocco 🇲🇦, I am so proud to be Moroccan, I live in Florida and most of the people here don't know where's Morocco 🇲🇦, then again most of them are ignorant.
Alexandra - your channel has the best opportunity to do a where are they now series for us - everyone wants to see how the rooms get changed post makeover so they can be lived in. With so many team makeovers you could show us what no other channel can! Where are they now???
I’m going to Marrakech in October 2024 and staying at a riad with a similar look. So excited! I also love Moroccan food,design, decor, and influence. Can’t wait!
So fun to follow along on your trip! Morocco is one place I have always been inspired by too, and always wanted to go! I would LOVE to see a team AG makeover inspired by this riad 😍
Riads are actually old merchants' homes, since a medina was a centre of trade. Normally one building would host a whole family, with many levels and a patio in the middle usually with a fountain, and tiled floors. Many of those riads are now converted into accommodation for tourists.
Thanks for giving me early morning vicarious thrills by vacationing in my dream destination! Thanks for the riad tips. One day, I’ll get there and hope to have as much fun!
I love your vlog. The riad looks absolutely stunning and I am super excited for the slippers. Always wondered where you got them from. Hope you also ship to Europe. 😍
Hi Alexandra 🌸 - Looks like you had an amazing time in Marrakech, so happy that you took this holiday! Marrakech looks beautiful, I have never been but would like to visit there one day ✈️ Also, I wanted to say that you and the AG team are really amazing as people as well as for what you all do, I love the channel, and I appreciate all the hard work, time and effort that goes into the makeovers/projects, vlogs and creating content 💜 I hope everyone who was ill has recovered and that you are all doing well overall 🙏🏽 Stay safe and well 💖👑
I surfed in Morocco 🇲🇦 😎 for 2 weeks... The food, the beauty, the kindness, the dogs, the weather, the talented traditional crafter, the people. I shall be getting some pompom shoes once the link is up! .... and now I want to go again!!! Loved it! It's a vibe for sure!
The slippers are so good. I will take a size 5/6 in green suede with two colors of pom-poms. OK. OK. I know you aren't ready for orders yet but squeeee....can't wait. OP...just got to end of video....well, yeeees of course terra cotta suede. Love it.
Love the slippers and also the idea of the signature PomPoms - but - I imidiatelly thought it would be cool to have also some kind of leather patch option - maybe with you logo - to clasp on, if it was kind of a “not a Pompom day” ☺️☺️🤪 love your work 🤍
I would loooovvvveeee a video on how the shop works! Like you just went to them and bought product or are they the ones making AND shipping them? And you are just showcasing it in your shop? I see you tubers make shops a lot these days and I’m so curious how that all works!
So eeexcittted to get those shoes!! I agree with @Cheryk Reynolds that is so awesome that you are giving that awesome family an opportunity to share those beautiful shoes with the world!!
ever since I discovered you it's been all about pom poms (and polka dots)!!! Love your authenticity, your humility doing tiny studio apartments for REAL people. Please don't ever leave T.O. Much love and best wishes for continued success.
If you plan on going inland like in Marrakech (away from the Atlantic coast), better to go during the Spring or Fall seasons. July and August can definitely be very hot! Hope you get to enjoy beautiful Morocco soon!
Congrats on the slippers! I personally don’t like pointy shoes but they really cute and smart! Every time I go anywhere or do anything whenever I see Pom Pom decor I wonder if Alexandra would like it and my friend’s say…who’s Alexandra…lol. Glad you had a nice trip!
Nice Idea about slippers I have see that with flip flops that have a similar snap. I also like the decor, due to all the items that reminds me of the 60's. When all that was popular. Was thinking you were going to use the pop pops as garland for accessories in your deco. Does that sound right. You can do solids or multi or colors that blend or just multi!
I never thought of it that way, but you’re right! You ARE deeply connected to Morocco’s style and decor. It’s so you!! I can’t wait to order those slippers. 🥰
Hi alexandria😊 when you can please do a Video on designing a brightly coloured room. Where the base is not white, we painted our walls and cant afford to paint them back😅. Thanks
Hey Doll, THAT IS SO AWESOME!! I fell in LUV with you, when you first started ur channel. I thought you were SO Talented!! And I fell in LUV!! 💕 With The PomPoms!!! YES! I too, am a PomPom! Lover!! They are SO CUTE!! Especially PomPom pillows! And now the Shoes with PomPoms!! What a Great Idea! 🥰 My dear, ur Decor Skills are THE BEST!! I knew when I first started watching ur make overs, THAT, You were going to go Very Far! In this business! YOU my dear, Have, THE IT! Factor! Talented,Talented, Talented. And you actually Love what you do. And it comes across that way. GodBless🙏 In all ur Adventures.
It’s so good to see that AG is collaborating with a Moroccan family business to sell these slippers, unlike the likes of Celine, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Balenciaga who just copied the babouche design and then sold it for ridiculous prices.
Everyone copies in fashion, by her showing the samples someone will copy her design.
@@anas.9103 it's always in poor taste when a large organization steals the idea and moves operations to not-Morroco for profit.
Is the pool just for you?
Omg, Alexandra, I never realised until this vlog how much your style is inspired by Morocco. I love it
Me too... Its like her style
Me too!!!
Welcome to our country! Hope you enjoyed your time heree!!
My daughter and I went to Morocco in 2010. It was an unforgettable trip and my daughter still talks about it!
Love seeing an outsiders point of view of my country, it renews my appreciation of Morocco's uniqueness, which is something I sometimes take for granted or even find inconvenient. Nice vlog AG!

@@TheKaurK I said this was the explanation I got when I visited no one forced you to agree with me. Have a wonderful further. 😊
@@lovingmayberry307 yes 😳you are correct
Fatiemah Benjamin pardon me, ive edited that comment to remove anything that could have been interpreted as impolite. All I wanted to do was add some context and nuance.
Morocco, my country. i'm happy you love Morocco. I have been such a huge fan or yours for a while.
Morocco is a special place indeed. Soulful. I'm from Morocco too but living abroad. But Morocco is always in me. always.
Goodness girl, if you were to embody a place it would be Marrakech! Everything design-wise is your style. You must love that place so much!

Deep green and red for Christmas!
Slipper’s are so cute , hope you keep them affordable and love the house with the pool ✌️💜

Alexandra and this Moroccan craftsman are pom pom soulmates!
I LOVE the chairs in your room!! ❤❤❤
I have always wanted to do this trip (but hesitant because I’m not sure how wheelchair-friendly it would be)… thank you so much for posting! I get to live vicariously through you ❤️❤️❤️
Love the slippers!
I’ve never been to Morocco, but from what I’ve seen, I would love it there! The shopping, the colors, it looks beautiful!
You are glowing like a brand new mama! Congratulations on the slipper adventure with interchangeable pom-poms!
I am so happy that you like Morocco 🇲🇦, I am so proud to be Moroccan, I live in Florida and most of the people here don't know where's Morocco 🇲🇦, then again most of them are ignorant.
Super cute! Those are like Tinkerbell slippers!! Love them! 😍🧚🏻✨
With this vlog, Morocco is definitely on my bucket list! 😍

Love the black and white pillow behind you in the office. The shapes resemble some of the ones that were in Morrocco, the buttons.
So fun to follow along on your trip! Morocco is one place I have always been inspired by too, and always wanted to go! I would LOVE to see a team AG makeover inspired by this riad 😍

Loving the food!! That breakfast looked amazing!
Wow! What a wonderful trip. Thank you for sharing. Love the slippers.
Love the slippers and the colors you picked are perfect! Can’t wait to purchase the black and rose color!
I would lose my mind in those stores. I love everything!!!!
Omg those shoes are Soo you! Love it!
That yellow tray reminds me of the peep hole frame from friends haha
Oh, lovely, thanks for sharing, and I totally wanted to buy all the knobs/handles.
Talented woman and what a great team ! You are inspiring !
I adore Marrakech and the Jardin Majorelle. Can't believe you've never been there when you've been to Marrakech so many times!
Alexandera said she and her mom had been there, but Noah (1st trip) and her dad had not.
Thanks for giving me early morning vicarious thrills by vacationing in my dream destination! Thanks for the riad tips. One day, I’ll get there and hope to have as much fun!
Hi Alexandra, I am new to this Chanel, and after watching this video, I can see your Moroccan inspiration. Totally!
Everything looks amazing! 🎉 thanks for sharing ❤
Definitely on my bucket list since forever!
Wow I wanted to jump through the screen and go shopping with you! Congrats on the adorable slippers!
Fascinating. Loved every second!
Love this vlog!! Thanks for sharing. The shoes are adorable and you've made me a pompom fan 😂
You should totally do a full Moroccan style makeover!!

Me too. Hopefully we both will.
So nice to see you, Noah and your parents enjoy your vacation in Morocco. Love the slippers and your fav pom poms 🤗😍
So excited for you and this process of growth. 🥳
Always something new with Alexandra! Always a treat to watch your vlogs.
O I think you bought the cushions at Mehdi! I'm really happy you love it. After 10 years I still feel I'm in a huge toy store :)
You are going to achieve amazing new heights! You just keep getting better and better! Love the slippers!
Congratulations!! 🎉❤
I’ll Rock the Poms!!
So will my almost 13 yr. old daughter!! 😀🥰💖💗

Would you consider taking a small number of people along with you next time & you & your family being the “tour guides”. Morocco looks amazing!!!
The slippers and mirror and knobs holy cow!! The Riad is beautiful. How to pick a color of they are all beautiful. Love this idea!!
Love the slippers and also the idea of the signature PomPoms - but - I imidiatelly thought it would be cool to have also some kind of leather patch option - maybe with you logo - to clasp on, if it was kind of a “not a Pompom day” ☺️☺️🤪 love your work 🤍
Ana (think inventing Ana) loved Morocco and YSL’s garden!
Totally awesome. That looks like agave, the big sister of aloe:)
I just can’t believe you were in my city and I’m just watching this rn😢. It’s so amazing how you described a Riad 😂❤
I would loooovvvveeee a video on how the shop works! Like you just went to them and bought product or are they the ones making AND shipping them? And you are just showcasing it in your shop? I see you tubers make shops a lot these days and I’m so curious how that all works!
You MUST have dinner at Le Foundouk. The chicken bistilla is out of this world! Enjoy magical ❤ Marrakesh.
Moroccan food... the best! Well, I'm a bit biased as a Moroccan myself
So eeexcittted to get those shoes!! I agree with @Cheryk Reynolds that is so awesome that you are giving that awesome family an opportunity to share those beautiful shoes with the world!!
You seem so peaceful and at home there :) Thanks for showing us around!
I wish you all the best ,So happy for you!! Yay!!
I love all of this. Your design is my absolute favorite. And this shows it all. and Congrats on the slippers endeavor. So inspired by you!
Oh I hope these are ready for Xmas!
Little tinkerbell slippers in white with green pompoms would be so cute. 😍
Like a PopSocket, but for shoes and slippers!! Love it!
OMG I loveeeeeee the Morocco videos!! I saw the one before and I was looking for more!! thanks for sharing this!! awesome!!
Always LOVED the warmth of the Middle-East style!!!! Thank you for sharing and the slippers are really cute. 🧡💛
I love the slippers, it's so beautiful!!! Can't wait.
ever since I discovered you it's been all about pom poms (and polka dots)!!! Love your authenticity, your humility doing tiny studio apartments for REAL people. Please don't ever leave T.O. Much love and best wishes for continued success.
Loved that you brought us along on the visit to Marrakech! Gorgeous! And those tiles!!! Love the slippers and pom-poms!
Thanks for sharing this. I really enjoyed it. It's so fun to see places I will never get to go to. And that tub. The courtyard is so beautiful.
Great video- thank you for bringing us along. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Oh, Morroco is travel goals for me. How hot is it? Istanbul is another great place to visit.
If you plan on going inland like in Marrakech (away from the Atlantic coast), better to go during the Spring or Fall seasons. July and August can definitely be very hot! Hope you get to enjoy beautiful Morocco soon!
Love this video! I love the shoes and hope you’ll be shipping to the U.S. Thank you for sharing, Robin
Oh my days, I feel a combination holiday/ shopping trip is in need of planning. That wavy mirror at Atelier Landan(?) was beeyootiful 😍😍
Congrats on the slippers! I personally don’t like pointy shoes but they really cute and smart! Every time I go anywhere or do anything whenever I see Pom Pom decor I wonder if Alexandra would like it and my friend’s say…who’s Alexandra…lol. Glad you had a nice trip!
I think those “fried pancakes/crepes” are arepas, they are really good with cheese on top as well, especially Colombian cheese
Nice Idea about slippers I have see that with flip flops that have
a similar snap.
I also like the decor, due to all the items that reminds me of the 60's. When all that was popular.
Was thinking you were going to use the pop pops as garland for accessories in your deco. Does that sound

i would love to see more shopping videos
I never thought of it that way, but you’re right! You ARE deeply connected to Morocco’s style and decor. It’s so you!! I can’t wait to order those slippers. 🥰
Thanks for sharing your trip and I can assess that you are definitely influenced by the Moroccan decor and architecture. Beautiful country!
I love the tiles.
What a beautiful country it seems! 🥺❤️

-central Wisconsin: Your hanging pom-poms will also make nice curtain tieback accents, in certain styles & with certain clients.
Congrats on this new endeavor Alex! You look SO happy and I’m so excited for your success!
Thank you for doing what you do for this incredible country and their arts and talents! 💚
Love the video!
So many lovely items and SO many pompoms and tassels!
I want a courtyard!
This has been my favorite video yet! And I can’t wait for the Pom Pom shoes! It is beautiful there. Thank you for the tour. 😉
I so cannot wait for the pom'd slippers to come out!!! I love that idea!
