What is a Djellaba?

Many cultures have a go-to clothing or piece of clothes-- something that's comfy, versatile, a trendy.

In Morocco, it's the djellaba, a long garment with sleeves and a hood that comes in dozens of various styles and can be used by males and females.

Origin and Types of the Moroccan Djellaba.

The Moroccan Djellabas came from the Amazigh (Berber) cultures of North Africa and show both locally offered materials and the local environment.

Maghreb is the name of a cultural region in North Africa. It was originally known as the Great North African, but it was later renamed after the Maghreb (Berber) culture. The Munda people, who lived in what is now Algeria, were originally from the Moroccan stock and after they migrated to Africa and settled in present-day South Africa, they gave their culture its name.

Lots of areas in the north of the nation experience both hot summertimes and cold, damp winters.

The most conventional styles are a plain cotton djellaba for summertime usage and a coarsely woven wool variation, frequently with black, brown, blue, or cream stripes, for winter use, made with wool from local sheep.

In some Berber neighborhoods, the color of the djellaba indicates the user's marital status.

These days, many Moroccans have access to a large range of modern-day and imported style options, but djellabas stay hugely popular and the choices have multiplied. You can discover them in almost any product-- cotton, wool, silk, synthetics, and more.
