I stocked on babouches: expect to be asked 400 Dirhams but pay no more than 150
and you can go as low as 100 (the equivalent of 15USD) if you buy several pairs.
Be very firm and make sure they are all made in leather.

The lovely straw beach bags should be around 250-300 Dirhams.
After a ferocious deal made with the berber lady at the Spice Market Square.
L'Orientaliste perfumes and candels are fixed prices but worth it.
Incredible fragrances very intense and long lasting.
You can shop in Rue de la Libertè.

Spices are excellent, I did a cooking class so I was able to get the best ones that I really get to use.
Cumin, Paprika and Ginger are the must have ones for any Moroccan Tagine.

Raw Honey is a great buy. I get mine at the local patisserie
Delice Dada also in rue de la Libertè.

Oil d'Argan seams to be the IT thing right now, in Marrakech is
more common than drinking water...

Shopping here requires a very detailed planning to reach the appropriate
vendor. Next time I will pre-organize a shopping tour with a guide
suggested by the Owner of my Hotel Ksar Char Bagh.
Paul Berger and Yves Saint Laurent frequently shopped at the Medina,
everybody say that their shop has been visited by them....
Many French boutiques are nice but too expensive, if I have to spend 250 dollars for a cotton kaftan I will buy one at home made of better quality.
The shops at Mammounia are overpriced and very commercial.
The Boutique at Royal Monsur has a fine selection of silk Kaftans, expect to pay over 1200 dollars.

One regret:
I should have purchased the hand dyed wool to knit something out of it.
Look at the one they the berbere women keep in the plastic bags, it is the finest quality.
Beni Ourein carpets and traditional berber wedding blankets are still a good buy,
shop around and take your time in negotiating the price.
