Inspired by the fabled Silk Route, we have traveled our own “Camino de Seda” from Savannah through Spain and into Portugal, crossing the borders of art, history and culture to create a caravan of caftans. Handcrafted with Italian silk in a family owned atelier in Portugal, inspired in Spain and designed in Savannah. This is the quintessential garment for long voyages or quiet daydreams, a work of art perfectly tailored for the art of living.
100% silk. Three quarter length French sleeves, easy slipover fit, elegant side slits.
About the fabric design: Inspired by the painting Santa Catalina (St. Catherine) by Fernando Yáñez de la Almedina (circa 1489-1536) in the collection of the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. The details on the sleeves and skirt are in pseudo-Kufic, an ornamented script meant to imitate the flourishes of Arabic calligraphy which the Spanish Renaissance painters could not decipher but copied with artistic license. This is the second color way in this pattern.
