Caftan c. mid 20th century

This anonymous caftan, dating to the mid-20th century, showcases a richly woven, golden fabric adorned with a repeating pattern of pink roses enclosed in delicate, white-edged ovals. The design of the garment, with its long, flowing sleeves and simple, v-neck collar, is characteristic of traditional Moroccan caftans. Its intricate woven pattern suggests a high level of craftsmanship and likely belonged to a wealthy or esteemed individual. Now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, this caftan provides a glimpse into the sartorial traditions of Morocco during the mid-20th century.
