Robe c. 1920

This long black robe, known as a "Kutayife" and dating back to c. 1920, is a fine example of traditional Ottoman dress. Crafted from silk, it features intricate embroidery along the neckline, sleeves, and hem, creating a striking contrast against the dark fabric. The red stitching along the seams and the green tassels add further visual interest to this piece. This garment, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, provides a glimpse into the richness and elegance of Ottoman fashion.
