Please support local vendors and artisans - in the medina, mountains, etc. - if you can.
This seems like a place (and time!) where it makes even less sense than usual to shop at the 'local' Hermes or Moncler or Prada shops.
Could not agree more... many of the city's local shops are on our list for the next stay, too & including some hotel boutiques carrying 100% locally made items. Also Paradis du Safran, where we were surprised to find not only saffron but also high quality cosmetics, oils and tea. All run by a lovely Swiss lady who lives on the farm with her animals and employs only local Berber women. Worth visiting.
