Make a Leather Lighter Case at YZA Creative Workshop Marrakech
On November 14, 2026, the YZA design studio in the Guéliz district of Marrakech will host its first public leather-crafting session, offering participants the chance to handmake a fringed leather lighter holder.
La Tribune de Marrakech reported that the session is scheduled from 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the brand’s workspace on rue de Yougoslavie. The event marks the debut of the YZA Creative Workshop series.
The 90-minute workshop costs 250 dirhams and includes all required crafting materials alongside a choice of coffee or water. Participation is strictly capped at eight individuals to ensure close instruction.
Attendees will select their preferred leather and color before learning basic cutting, punching, and riveting techniques. Each participant leaves the studio with their own finished piece.
The host brand operates a fully women-run studio and artisan atelier located at 66 rue de Yougoslavie, directly adjacent to the Rôtisserie de la Paix, as noted by marrakechsouks.com. Founded by Nawal Rmili, the workspace produces handmade bags, jewelry, charms, and ready-to-wear garments on site.
marrakechsouks.com noted that raw materials such as raffia, doum, and banana leaf arrive directly at the Guéliz studio to be transformed by hand. Depending on production schedules, visitors may observe artisans weaving baskets, sewing fabrics, or attaching beadwork.
The brand arrives at this workshop schedule following an international appearance in October. marrakechsouks.com reported that YZA presented collections in Paris as part of the CANEX x TRANOÏ program held at the Palais Brongniart from October 1 to 4, 2026.
That exhibition placed the label among accessories designers representing Morocco on an international stage. Production times at the Guéliz studio range from two to seventy hours per item depending on the complexity of the design.
Unlike traditional medina workshops, the Guéliz atelier functions as an open contemporary space where visitors can view ongoing production and purchase items directly. The studio sits roughly a ten-minute walk from Place du 16 Novembre.
marrakechsouks.com reported that regular studio hours run from Wednesday to Sunday between 12:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., and on Mondays from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., with Tuesdays marked as closed. The brand provides ongoing fittings, alterations, and lifetime repairs for its catalog on site.
Reservations for the November 14 workshop are managed through the studio’s designated WhatsApp contact line.
