Leenaert’s tour starts at her studio, Studio LRNCE, which is brimming with her distinctive textiles and hand painted ceramics. We then venture across the magical ancient Medina and souks, where you can shop at stalls stuffed with everything from spices to straw hats.

The artist takes us to her favourite Marrakech restaurant, La Famille and the newly opened Dardar; along with the stunning hotel, Kasbah Bab Ourika, which is set within the picturesque Atlas Mountains.

Our tour also takes in Morocco’s iconic cultural sights of Musée de la Palmeraie, the Dyers Souk and Saint Laurent’s very own vivid cobalt- and yellow-painted Jardin Majorelle.
