About the Item

An opulent vintage Moroccan caftan, handcrafted in Morocco circa the 1970s from luminous turquoise-blue metallic brocade. The richly woven fabric displays oversized floral bouquets in gold, yellow, scarlet red, violet and magenta, creating a brilliant surface that changes subtly with the light. The floral decoration is woven into the brocade rather than printed, giving the garment its distinctive depth and luxurious texture. Traditional hand-applied Moroccan passementerie, or sfifa, frames the rounded neckline, decorative front panel, open cuffs and hem. Coordinating ball-shaped buttons and loop details ornament the neckline, while the wide, gently bell-shaped sleeves are finished with metallic gold-tone cuff buttons. Designed as a slip-on garment, the decorative front panel does not open. The body has a relaxed, flowing silhouette that widens gradually toward the hem, creating an elegant floor-length line suitable for evening wear, resort dressing or display as a collectible example of North African textile artistry. No size is marked. Based on its relaxed construction and measurements, it should accommodate approximately a modern medium to large; please rely on the measurements for fit.
