There is tea packaging inside your bag
Some of our bags are structured with recycled cardboard recovered from tea packaging. Not as a gimmick, and not because it was cheaper. Because it works.
Fabriqué à Paris, and what the label actually certifies
The bags are made in Casablanca. The earrings are made by Karima, by hand, in her Paris studio, and carry the Fabriqué à Paris label. Two places, two crafts, one collection.
A place at the MUDAM store in Luxembourg
ISLI is represented at the MUDAM store in Luxembourg, the museum of modern art. A museum shop asks a different question of an object than a fashion floor does.
Six months inside Printemps Haussmann
In 2025 ISLI took a dedicated space inside one of the most iconic department stores in France, for six months. Here is what a young studio learns from that.
Between Paris and Casablanca
The collection is not drawn from an archive of references. It comes from a colour on a facade, the geometry of an ornament, the rhythm of a city, and the movement between two of them.
Isli and Tislit, the legend behind the name
Two lovers from rival tribes, forbidden to be together, whose tears formed two lakes in the Atlas mountains. The lakes still carry their names.
What a small run actually means
Why a colour you liked disappears and does not come back, why we cannot simply make more, and what to do when the piece you wanted has gone.
Three shapes, and how to choose between them
We make one triangle, one circle and one structured clutch. Each one solves a different day. Here is the honest comparison, including what each is bad at.
Looking after a bag made from leather that already lived once
Upcycled leather is not fragile leather. It is premium hide with a different history, and it asks for the same care any good leather asks for, plus one habit most people skip.
How to look after wooden earrings
Wood is why our earrings are light enough to wear all day. It is also why they dislike water, perfume and radiators. Five minutes of care, and they outlast most jewellery.
The map hidden inside the collection
Merzouga, Toubkal, Fes, Majorelle, Kasbah. Read the names of the pieces in order and you get something close to a route across Morocco.
