An elegant vintage Moroccan caftan dating to the 1970s, beautifully crafted in shimmering ivory-white floral jacquard fabric and embellished with intricate handmade gold and cream passementerie. This sophisticated maxi-length gown reflects the traditional artistry of Moroccan dressmaking, combining delicate floral patterns with rich decorative detailing. The lustrous ivory fabric features an elegant woven floral design, with softly contrasting flowers and foliage that become visible as the light moves across its surface.
