Moroccan Kaftan
Authentic Moroccan caftans: royal silhouettes, Sfifa braiding and Aakad buttons, reimagined for today.
About our Moroccan kaftans
The Moroccan kaftan - also spelled caftan - is a royal garment with a thousand-year history, worn at court in Fez and Marrakech long before it reached global runways.
Naylara's Moroccan caftans keep the codes intact: structured shoulders, Sfifa braiding, Aakad silk buttons and a floor-skimming line, cut for modern comfort and real bodies. Wear one to a wedding, an Eid gathering or any evening that calls for presence.
Purists should start with our heritage kaftans and two-piece takchita sets; for lighter takes on the tradition, see embroidered and cotton kaftans. US sizes 0-22 with authentic garment measurements - the size guide shows exactly how each piece fits.

The Moroccan Kaftan Guide
Kaftan, takchita or gandoura?
The kaftan is the one-piece classic; the takchita layers two pieces for ceremonies; the gandoura is the sleeveless, easy summer cousin. All three live in this collection, from daily comfort to celebration.
What to look for in authentic craft
Sfifa braiding along the closure, hand-knotted aakad buttons, and embroidery that follows the garment lines rather than fighting them. Our craft guide shows the details up close.
Can non-Moroccans wear a Moroccan kaftan?
Yes - the kaftan is worn worldwide and Moroccan artisans have dressed international clients for generations. Wearing it well and crediting its origin honors the tradition.
What do you wear under a kaftan?
A simple slip dress or fitted underlayer in a matching tone works for sheer or open-weave pieces; opaque kaftans need nothing more than what you would wear under any dress.
