Great design doesn’t always start with a grand plan. Sometimes, it starts with a fabric, tile or slipper. In Marrakech, the souks hum with life—an endless maze of texture, colour, and craftsmanship. For interior designers, these aren’t just markets; they’re treasure troves of inspiration. From antique mirrors to leather babouche slippers, the smallest finds often spark the biggest ideas. On the Muse Marrakech InStyle retreat this November, we invite you to discover how Locals shop and how you can transform your personal spaces back home—through the lens of thoughtful styling, storytelling, and expert interior design guidance.

The Power of the Personal Object

Think of your home as a story—and every object within it as a line in that story. On this retreat, designer @claire.caucecile (of CCC Interiors and @riadbotanica team) will guide you in shopping and exploring Marrakech with a stylist’s eye. Not only will you walk through bustling souks and flea markets, selecting pieces not for what they cost or who sells them, but for how they feel—what they awaken in you. We will do workshops with artisans, understand what goes into the craft and how the imperfect is truly perfect. Imagine finding a pair of hand-stitched slippers, worn smooth by the maker’s hands. From their ochre hue to the curve of the stitching, you suddenly envision a reading nook—a rug to match, a lamp to echo its brass trim, a mood that’s been waiting to take shape.

Carrie Found Her Manolos. May You’ll Find Your Babouche?

Remember that iconic Sex and the City moment when Carrie Bradshaw finds her dream heels in a New York boutique? Now imagine discovering your version of that moment in a tucked-away in the Marrakech souks! On Muse Marrakech InStyle, you won’t be lead by retailers you will be lead by locals and interior designers focusing on styling concepts, helping you with your own interiors or just finding what you love in Marrakech with likeminds. With Claire’s design expertise and the team of locals by your side, you’ll learn how to translate colours, trends and pieces into real plans for your own spaces—be it a renovation, a refresh, or a long-dreamed-of interior update.

Design, Guided by Feeling—Not Formula

This isn’t about ticking off a tourist itinerary. It’s about unearthing design potential in objects that move you. With a small group of like-minded people, you’ll workshop your own interior vision, build a personalised moodboard, and walk away with not just memories—but creative clarity. From vibrant textiles to handmade ceramics, architectural details to one-of-a-kind mirrors, everything you discover here can help reimagine your spaces with soul and story.

Come Home with More Than Souvenirs

This six-night retreat offers more than a shopping experience—it’s a design immersion. Hosted in a luxurious award winning Riad that reflects the same attention to craft and comfort, you’ll enjoy guided sourcing, artisan introductions, cultural excursions, workshops, gourmet Moroccan meals, and creative conversations that linger long after the last mint tea. With Claire Cau-Cecile as your mentor, you’ll connect the dots between what you love, what you find, and how to bring it to life. Reserve Your Place before we sell out. If you’ve been dreaming of visiting Marrakech and or transforming your home—or your creative self—this is the reset you’ve been waiting for.
