Home Decor With An Accent

I was born in the US, to Moroccan parents and was raised in southern Spain. I have spent a substantial amount of time living in three very different societies. The intermingling of cultures has always felt natural and genuine to me. I've always felt inspired to share my personal understanding and experiences, and it is precisely this inspiration that has fueled much of my enthusiasm behind MoraCo Imports. Proof of this can be found in the store's name. In Spain, the word "Mora" is the word used to refer to a Moroccan woman, and it serves as a symbol of the company's philosophy of embracing cultural fusion. MoraCo Imports provides unique home accent pieces that are all handmade and hand-assembled by craftsmen in Morocco.

I moved to New York City from Spain in 1999, where I spent 8 years. I found the cultural diversity invigorating, and it was there, in my tiny, overpriced apartment that I began envisioning my dream job.

Souks (marketplaces) in Morocco are so beautiful and visually stimulating, but they tend to be overcrowded with all kinds of different items. I knew that in order to appeal to US buyers, I needed to focus on something specific, so I chose home decor accent pieces. Items that anyone could use to accent rooms in their home, without necessarily having to change the room's theme. It is becoming increasingly common to see Moroccan (style) light fixtures and other adornments in elegant and fashionable businesses such as restaurants and boutiques. Why not bring a touch of the exotic to your home?

I decided to focus solely on home decor pieces that cold be easily integrated into anyone's current home decor, or could serve as an interesting conversation piece.

My life has been based on the mingling and the fusion of very different cultures and customs. I have come to not only accept this diversity but to sincerely want to share it with others, in an effort to bring us closer together as the human community that we are.
