The art of the kaftan
From court dress to contemporary couture.
The kaftan reached Morocco through Andalusia and the Ottoman court, where in Fès and Tetouan it took its own form: fuller, longer, and with the sfifa as its characteristic finish.
For centuries it was court dress. Only in the twentieth century did the kaftan become festive wear for everyone — for weddings, henna evenings and Ramadan.
Today it is moving again: cleaner lines, lighter fabrics, and colours beyond the classic gold and ivory. The technique stays, the silhouette changes.
