- 5 Reviews
The Souk des Chechias in Tunis's medina is a historic marketplace specializing in chechias, Tunisia's traditional felt caps. Established in the 17th century, the souq once produced a million caps annually, crafted by 15,000 artisans for local use and global export. Today, around ten skilled chaouachis continue this legacy, creating both traditional red chechias and custom hats in diverse styles, which are exported to North and West Africa.
