Are there any bargains to be had in marrakesh?

It all looks abit Camden to me! Is there anything worth bartering for?

I saw three Bodenesque women fighting over kaftans yesterday. I mean, would you wear one at home??

wouldn't wear them at home but might be nice to have for future beachwear?

Isn't Marrakesh a haven for leather goods? Maybe a fab new bag?

I've just been talking about this. Yes they are nice and colourfull but, maybe we are spoilt back home. I like a lining and a couple of pockets inside! At this rate all I'm going to come home with is some soap! It's such hard work bargaining as well tbh.

I went a couple of years ago and came back with loads of lovely stuff for the house - a massive carved mirror with camel bone leather pouffe, throws, candle-holders and a painting. No good for clothes though, my DH got a leather man-bag he likes and I had to hide my Celine bag behind my back when he was doing the requisite bartering for pennies with the stallholder

Itwas all household stuff and I just bought oils and creams. Spent my money in duty free instead! Even the jewelery looked tacky, it was a let down in that respect
