THE CRAFTMAN & THE WORKSHOP
Jibel has taken the key of olive fields, embarking on a reverse journey from the sea, rolling straight towards small whitevillages, where the people live offseasonal harvests in the tranquility of the
desert.
A journey through time in the middle of the pampa finally leads us to the long-awaited "Open Sesame".
The lair of our weaving craftsmanship is hidden somewhere between a peninsula and an ancient city, in the heartlands of El Jem and Mahdia.
Our beautiful fabric spools awaited us there, after a long summer vacation in the famous Tunisian customs (one day we'll tell you about it).
Master Mehdi gets to work here, sharing with us his strong affinity for ancestral artisanal techniques and the intense ristretto from the nearby café.
Here, the days are marked by the sound ofhands and feet meticulously operating the looms with precision and delicacy.
A strong and steady sound, a rhythm that serves as a radio, a gentle melody where decibels softly pass by, the voice of Jibel.
