Topolina Marrakech: It is all about colors

For several years, Marrakech has welcomed a new bird of paradise Isabelle Lallmang to its inhabitants. And she brightens up the magical Red city full of colors, even more with her fun store. Isabelle from Normandy has the craft of haute couture pattern drawing which she learned in her younger years. It is an art in itself to print out a ready-to-wear garment. And especially when it comes to Haute Couture designs! You need a special eye to translate a sketch according to the wishes of the designer. We had to wait for her because she decided to start cooking with skill and passion in her restaurant in Trouville in France. Yet Africa beckoned and plunged into her other passion: fashion. This made her decide to go to the ever-moving city of Marrakech. A small boutique called Topolina opened in the street of the imposing Dar el Bacha in the north of the medina. Her shop full of colorful clothing and cheerful prints did not go unnoticed by the fashion connoisseurs!

Topolina: Design clothes for men and women

What started as a boutique has grown into a family business because her now-grown son Pierre-Henry seems to have inherited his mother’s talent and eye for innovative fashion. He is responsible for a cool collection of men’s loafers in his mother’s fashion style. The shoes have color and prints and are made of various types of leather. He also designs shorts, unique bow ties, pajamas, and trousers.
Isabelle still focuses on the women’s line and is inspired by what she encounters in the souks of Marrakech. Her taste in fashion is influenced by the sixties with a clear African Touch. She takes special colorful wax fabrics from Senegal and Mauritania vegetable dyes. Her clothing moves when worn, because the shapes are slightly different than standard and yet fall naturally on the body. This is where her keen eye for detail comes in! The choice of fabrics such as silk and good quality cotton also makes Topolina clothing a joy to wear. The clothing is now also for sale in the well-known hotel La Mamounia. Where you can relax in the chique garden & enjoy a snack and a drink. Whilst wearing a clothing item of Topolina, you will leave a colorful impression!
