The caftan, an outfit steeped in history

"What is the traditional Moroccan attire?" The answer often begins with the caftan, a garment that dates back to the time of Muslim dynasties. This long, embroidered garment, often worn with a belt, reflects both Moroccan prestige and culture.

Take Leila, a Moroccan bride who chose a caftan for her big day. Her design, from our Moroccan Caftan collection, featured gold details and a cut tailored to her figure. "The caftan allowed me to feel connected to my roots while still being modern," she explains.

Other traditional Moroccan outfits

Although the caftan is iconic, other traditional outfits are also part of Moroccan heritage, such as the djellaba and the takchita. Each garment has its own purpose and reflects the country's regional influences.

Rachida, a woman from the Rif region, often wears a djellaba for her daily outings. For ceremonies, she opts for a sumptuous caftan, often embellished with beads and embroidery. Thanks to our Moroccan Caftan collection, she has found an outfit that respects tradition while reflecting her personality.
