You are a cool cat!
By purchasing from us, you are contributing to independent design and you are encouraging a young creative business! Our Baba Souk treasures are ethically imported handcrafted finds.

We also like to encourage great designers from all over the world by showcasing their products on our online shop. It is our way of promoting creativity and independent design. We are a proud alternative to everything “made in China” and we love to offer a more thoughtful, meaningful and positive way to shop!
FAQS:
Who is Baba Souk?
While Stephanie thinks it’s pretty funny that everyone now calls her Baba or Stephy-Baba, Baba Souk is a name she invented for her shop when she created it in 2012. She was inspired by the Marrakech souk market to create her online boutique. A souk in Morocco is like a marvelous market where everything is colorful and handmade. Baba refers to a boho heart, a fun and positive spirit. Please visit our “Baba who?” section to learn more about our founder.
