Our Ateliers – Handcrafted Wedding Dresses & Kaftans
Our ateliers: Paris & Marrakech
At SELHYAN, every creation is born in our two ateliers, between France and Morocco. A dual presence that brings together Parisian couture standards and the authenticity of Moroccan craftsmanship — for your wedding dresses, kaftans and ceremony outfits.
The Paris atelier: bridal made-to-measure
Our Parisian atelier is dedicated to supporting brides: personalised appointments, measurements, fittings and adjustments. This is where your made-to-measure wedding dress takes shape, from the first sketch to the final finishes, with attentive guidance at every step. Discover the details of our made-to-measure service or book an appointment.
The Marrakech atelier: the art of the kaftan
In Morocco, our atelier carries on the traditional gestures of Moroccan craftsmanship: hand-sewn sfifa trim, aâkad buttons, maâlem embroidery and passementerie. This is where our kaftans and takchitas come to life, honouring a heritage passed down from generation to generation. Discover our Marrakech atelier.
One craft, two worlds
From the Western wedding dress to the ceremonial takchita, our seamstresses work noble fabrics — silk, satin, lace, tulle, brocade — with the same commitment to quality. Each piece is designed to enhance the woman who wears it, on her wedding day and at life's most beautiful occasions.
