Under the Moroccan sun, where craft traditions have been passed down through generations, this hand-dyed indigo kaftan was lovingly created. Its intricate embroidery and flowing silhouette tell a story of evenings filled with music, laughter, and the deep, rich hues of twilight skies. Perhaps it belonged to a traveler who marveled at the bustling souks, a collector who cherished artisanal treasures, or someone who simply found joy in wearing such a beautifully crafted piece.

This vintage kaftan, made in Morocco, features a rich indigo base adorned with intricate cream and blue embroidery. Its flowy silhouette offers both comfort and elegance, making it perfect for lounging or casual outings. The kaftan is made from a breathable cotton-rayon blend and is hand-dyed in natural indigo, lending it a deep and vibrant hue.

Please note, due to the natural dyeing process, the indigo may bleed when washing. It is recommended to hand wash this piece separately to avoid color transfer. The garment also has a small, photographed stain, adding to its unique character and history.
