reated by Laurence Touitou, multi-talented woman of culture, La Liste Tunisienne presents a collection of dresses
and objects for the house inspired by classics of Tunisian crafts. This first collection is built around three themes :

the fouta’s three stripes motif, the raw material and the ancient motifs from ceramics and embroidery.

La Liste Tunisienne
in your homes !

From the “techbik“ dress to boxes made of halpha or embroidered fabric, to bowls and plates, baskets, mats and
foutas for the beach or the table ; each object is an invitation to discover and rediscover in a new light a universe full
of sensations and rich of traditions. Therefore, the famous lablabi bowl, meant for this typically Tunisian chickpea soup,
regains thanks to Laurence Touitou and Habib, potter from Nabeul, its traditional aspect available in yellow and green
enamels typical of the old potteries from Nabeul. The mat Somaa is carefully braided then bracketed by the expert
hands of Icheraf, Jamila and her neighbours. This mat made of zaaf fiber, a variety of almond tree, requires more than
two weeks of la bour.
And since the creator pays attention to detail, each item is accompanied by a small booklet that shows the steps of its
artisanal manufacture, which we can also find on the brand’s website, through short documentaries.
More than an ancient know-how, La Liste Tunisienne is a perfect harmony between the rustic sobriety of its models
and the excellent quality of the materials and finishes, in a both contemporary and elegant universe. I www.apc.fr

For a few years, Tunisian
crafts have been
experiencing a new golden
age. Some creators choose
to give it a very modern
design while others, like
La Liste Tunisienne, try
to revive, preserve and

promote a thousand-yearold know-how.
