From Birmingham to Morocco

From Birmingham to Morocco

From the bustling streets of Marrakesh to the handcrafting experts of Casablanca, two young entrepreneurs set out on a mission to provide elegant and intricate thobes whilst exploring the abundant culture of Morocco.

Kamran and Shawfikul started their business as young, starry-eyed 21-year-olds with a vision they were determined to see through. Maghribi is more than a brand, it is a story where each chapter unveils the promise of authenticity, faith, and friendship.

Maghribi emerged from a spark of inspiration and with a modern flourish that presents a new line of chic and refined thobes that exhibit ‘Heritage in every stitch’. Their thobes show the vast vibrancy of Moroccan fashion as Kamran and Shawfikul work alongside experienced tailors in the heart of Morocco.

By taking multiple trips a year to various cities, be it Casablanca, Marrakesh, and even Fes, the young moguls spend hours upon hours sifting through garments and assessing each one’s quality, intricacy, and flair to guarantee they are bringing you the finest product right to your doorstep!

Maghribi has grown from a small, start-up business with just 100 followers on Instagram to becoming the first Muslim-owned business to debut a pop-up stall in Grand Central, Birmingham within just two years.

Kamran and Shawfikul made some bold risks to carry out their idea to venture into the scary world of business and competition while in a place where they had a lot at stake and only £500 in their pockets. There was no room for mistakes. Kamran had a one-year-old daughter and Shawfikul was working a normal job when Maghribi was just a hopeful vision.

They used what little they had to book a flight to Morocco, a place they had already fallen in love with, and traversed across each obscure market, spoke to each unique tailor, and delved into each eccentric style to search for the perfect thobes. After some long weeks of searching, Maghribi brings to you the best Moroccan thobes that hold decades of history and faith in every aspect of their brand.

Maghribi now boasts luxurious Moroccan thobes for a regal look where comfort and finesse go hand in hand and is accessible to everyone!
