Moroccan Kaftan through the years
At first, Moroccan Kaftan was entirely reserved for the royal family. Only the kings of the Marinid dynasty sported these tunics tailored by Moroccan “Maalem”s (cloth makers).
On some occasions, they would send kaftans crafted from brocade to Ottoman Sultans upon their coronation. This form of dress will later become the norm during the Saadian dynasty.
Nowadays, the traditional Moroccan Kaftan is a one-piece dress made from silk, wool, cotton, velvet, or even synthetic fabrics, and exclusively worn by women.
This dress typically comes with a belt, either in matching fabric or made from skali (metal thread) in silver or gold.
Different styles and designs of Moroccan kaftan
Moroccan traditional kaftan has managed to acquire global renown for its elegant effortlessness and glamour.
In fact, it has been featured in haute couture fashion collections from upscale brands like Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, and Christian Dior -to name a few.
