When Zellige Meets Icon:
Guerlain X Aït Manos
an ode to the Moroccan desert

AtAït Manos, every piece tells a story. A story crafted by hand, rooted in Moroccan tradition and looking toward the future. Today, we are proud to share an exceptional collaboration that perfectly embodies this vision: our partnership with Guerlain for the Terracotta Golden Dunes – Limited Edition 2026 collection.

Where heritage meets contemporary art

For over 40 years, Guerlain’s Terracotta powder has embodied sunlight and natural beauty. In 2026, the House is reimagining this icon by drawing inspiration from the heart of Morocco: the golden dunes, their infinite shades, and above all… the art of zellige. It is in this context that Aït Manos comes into play. As a zellige artisan, our mission is clear: to preserve ancestral craftsmanship while reinventing it. This collaboration marks a historic first between Guerlain and our workshop, giving rise to unique cases that are true works of art.

Zellige: a timeless Moroccan signature

Zellige is much more than just decoration. It is an ancient craft, born of patience, precision, and passion. Each piece is hand-cut, meticulously assembled, and carries the soul of the artisan. For this collection, we have created three designs inspired by the Moroccan desert landscapes:

Bleu Dakhla: a deep blue, reminiscent of lapis lazuli, accented with red geometric patterns and luminous touches.
Zagora Red: a sunny composition in warm hues, where garnet red interacts with golden tones.
Agafay Green: a soothing harmony of jade greens, structured around a star-shaped motif. Each design is enhanced by golden lines, transforming the case into a true jewel.

When craftsmanship elevates an object

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these cases embody a philosophy: one of sustainability and legacy. As rechargeable cases, they extend the product’s lifespan while elevating the object as a precious and timeless piece. For us at Aït Manos, this collaboration represents a recognition of zellige as a living art form, capable of engaging with the most contemporary worlds, including that of luxury beauty.

What about tomorrow?

This collaboration with Guerlain paves the way for new creative endeavors. At Aït Manos, we continue to create designs where Moroccan craftsmanship meets contemporary design, giving rise to unique, meaningful pieces.
