Moroccan craft, explained beyond the clichés



Zayna.life is a quiet journal about Moroccan decor, materials, and traditions—written to help you understand what you’re seeing, buying, or gifting.
Moroccan decor is everywhere today—online shops, social media, and interiors across the world.
But what’s often missing is context.
Names are reused loosely. Materials are simplified. Objects are reduced to trends.
And meaning becomes lost along the way.
Zayna.life exists to slow that down.
Here, Moroccan craft is explained as it’s actually made, used, and understood—through materials, regions, traditions, and everyday life. No shortcuts. No hype. Just clarity.
