About Vintglob
Moroccan Craftsmanship, Global Elegance
In 2018, a young Moroccan entrepreneur named Youssef Erraji began selling a few handcrafted leather pieces on eBay. Each item told a story — of tradition, texture, and the quiet excellence of Moroccan artisanship. What started as a modest online store soon became the seed of something far greater: a vision to bring Morocco’s legendary craftsmanship to the world.
From the heart of Morocco’s leather tradition, Vintglob was born — a brand built on authenticity, integrity, and timeless design.
The Beginning: eBay, 2018
In the early days, Youssef worked closely with local artisans in small workshops, carefully curating a collection of handmade poufs, pillows, and leather accessories. Every listing was written by hand, every photo taken in natural light to reveal the true character of each piece. There were no grand strategies, only passion — and a belief that genuine craftsmanship could speak for itself.
Customers from around the world began to take notice. They saw something different in those pieces: the natural scent of tanned leather, the subtle imperfections that made each product unique, and the warmth of a message that often came handwritten in every package. The feedback was unanimous — authentic, beautiful, and made with love.
Vintglob’s story began not in a boardroom, but in the hum of Moroccan souks, the rhythm of artisans’ hands, and the deep respect for a tradition that has shaped Moroccan identity for centuries.
The Evolution: From Online Store to Brand
By 2020, Youssef’s small eBay project had grown into a full-fledged vision. He saw the potential to transform how the world viewed Moroccan craftsmanship — not as a souvenir or exotic curiosity, but as a symbol of luxury, artistry, and sustainable living.
He built a reputation on trust, quality, and personal connection. Every customer mattered, and every order represented more than a transaction; it was a bridge between cultures. While the global market was shifting toward mass production, Vintglob took the opposite direction — celebrating handmade precision and the human story behind every stitch.
With a 100% positive feedback score on eBay and dozens of glowing reviews, Youssef realized it was time to evolve. Thus, Vintglob moved beyond eBay and Amazon to establish its own home — Vintglob.com, a digital atelier where Moroccan craftsmanship meets contemporary design.
Rooted in Morocco’s Leather Heritage
Morocco’s leather industry is one of the oldest in the world. From the famed tanneries of Fez and Marrakech to the hidden workshops of Ouarzazate, artisans have preserved ancient methods of vegetable tanning and hand-tooling for generations.
Vintglob exists to honor and sustain this heritage. Each piece is handcrafted using ethically sourced hides, traditional techniques, and modern design sensibilities. The result is a fusion of authentic Moroccan soul and global sophistication — a style that feels both timeless and refreshingly new.
From leather poufs and pillows to custom headboards, bags, and home décor, every product carries the distinct touch of the artisan who made it. The natural grain, the careful stitching, the delicate scent — these are not details to be hidden, but marks of authenticity to be celebrated.
A Vision Beyond Commerce
Youssef’s dream has never been just about selling products. It’s about building an ecosystem — a movement that gives Moroccan artisans a voice on the global stage.
Many of these craftsmen work quietly in small cooperatives or family workshops, passing their skills from father to son, mother to daughter. Yet their artistry often goes unseen or undervalued. Vintglob was created to change that.
Through fair collaboration, ethical sourcing, and long-term relationships, Vintglob ensures that artisans are respected, supported, and paid fairly for their work. The goal is not mass production — it’s meaningful creation. Every sale helps sustain local families, preserve heritage techniques, and inspire the next generation to continue Morocco’s craft legacy.
Crafted in Morocco. Loved Worldwide.
Vintglob’s clientele has grown across continents — from Europe and the United States to Japan and Australia. Customers choose Vintglob because they seek more than décor; they seek stories.
They want a pouf that feels alive with texture. A headboard that transforms a bedroom into a statement of quiet luxury. A pillow that speaks of history and warmth. Vintglob has become a bridge — connecting Moroccan tradition with contemporary design and international taste.
Each collection embodies a harmony between old and new: ancient tanning rituals and modern aesthetics, desert tones and minimalist interiors, handcrafted imperfection and polished elegance.
Sustainability and Responsibility
At Vintglob, sustainability isn’t a marketing term — it’s a moral compass. Every hide used in our production comes as a by-product of the food industry, minimizing waste and environmental harm. Natural tanning methods are chosen over synthetic ones, preserving both the environment and the integrity of the leather.
Our artisans craft each piece slowly and deliberately — no shortcuts, no overproduction. This approach ensures not only exceptional quality but also environmental respect. In a world obsessed with speed, Vintglob stands for intentional creation.
Expanding Horizons: The New Morocco
Youssef’s entrepreneurial journey doesn’t stop at leather goods. Through his cooperative projects in Ouarzazate and other Moroccan cities, he is helping to develop local industries around rabbit leather, wool rugs, and artisanal décor — each rooted in Morocco’s diverse craft culture.
The mission is clear: to position Morocco as a global hub of craftsmanship. Just as Italy became synonymous with fine leather and France with couture, Youssef envisions Morocco recognized for its artistry, sustainability, and timeless design.
Vintglob stands at the forefront of this movement — a modern Moroccan maison that blends luxury and authenticity with a deep sense of place.
The Atelier Spirit
Every piece in Vintglob’s collection begins with inspiration from Morocco’s landscapes — the golden dunes, the terracotta cities, the cool blues of Chefchaouen, and the intricate geometry of Marrakech architecture. These influences shape each design, bringing soul and harmony into modern spaces.
Our artisans work in serene ateliers, surrounded by the rhythm of tools and the earthy scent of leather. It’s in these quiet moments that each Vintglob creation comes to life — hand-cut, hand-stitched, and hand-finished to perfection.
The result is a collection that transcends time: not just furniture or décor, but heirlooms in the making.
A Message from the Founder
“Vintglob was born from a simple idea — that beauty, quality, and tradition can coexist in the modern world. Morocco has given me so much, and through this brand, I want to give back by showing the world the brilliance of our artisans. Every piece you see is a tribute — to their hands, their heritage, and their hope for a better tomorrow.”
— Youssef Erraji, Founder of Vintglob
The Future
As Vintglob grows, Youssef remains grounded in his purpose: to expand Moroccan craftsmanship globally while protecting its authenticity. Future collections will continue to explore new materials, from handwoven wool to brass and wood, yet always return to the soul of Moroccan design — elegant, honest, and human.
Partnerships with designers and architects are on the horizon, as Vintglob aims to redefine what “Made in Morocco” means on a global scale. It’s not just a label; it’s a mark of integrity, excellence, and artistry.
Conclusion
Vintglob is more than a brand — it’s a movement of artistry and ambition. From a humble eBay store in 2018 to an international online atelier, its journey reflects the power of vision and authenticity.
Every pouf, every pillow, every bag tells a story — a Moroccan story of craftsmanship and culture, reborn for the modern world.
