Of Moroccan origin, the caftan dates back to the time of the Almohads, a dynasty that ruled Morocco, much of North Africa, and the Iberian Peninsula from the 12th to the 13th century, with Marrakech as its capital. This garment, born during this prosperous period, has become a jewel of Moroccan craftsmanship. The caftan is distinguished by its loose fit, long sleeves, and front closure, often adorned with buttons or delicate embroidery. Crafted with sumptuous fabrics such as satin and silk, it features intricate decorations, showcasing the talent of Moroccan artisans. Initially reserved for the royal court and the nobility, the caftan has become democratized over time, integrating into all layers of Moroccan society.
