Our Story
Arbala started as an idea in lockdown and launched in 2021 by Livvy Wentworth-Stanley. I wanted to create an inspiring online space to discover totally unique statement pieces, all handmade in Morocco and not the ordinary things found in the souk.
Our pieces are created in collaboration with artists and artisans from around Morocco, blending traditional techniques with contemporary designs, making each piece unique to Arbala. Along the way, we sometimes discover hidden gems that add a special touch to our collection.
Why Morocco?
Arbala is named after my family’s home in Morocco, Dar Arbala (‘dar’ which means ‘house’ in Arabic). Morocco has always been a huge part of my life and I’ve grown up inspired by the earthy yet chic Moroccan aesthetic and constantly changing artisan creations.
At Arbala, we value craft and design over mass production. All of our pieces are made using natural materials and produced in limited quantities to ensure a carefully curated and small scale production. Every piece you purchase from Arbala supports a network of skilled craftsmen and women, contributing to their livelihoods and the preservation of their crafts.
Explore our collection and discover the stories behind each piece, curated just for you.
