Ottoman Rosette Cotton Kaftan

Gift her an artful women’s cotton kaftan.

The kaleidoscopic rosettes and wavy vines defining this head-turning print are adapted from a 16th-century silk fragment attributed to Turkey and now in The Met collection. Punctuated by peacock tails and tulips, this sumptuous design exemplifies the taste for boldly colored and patterned materials, which were transformed into kaftans and other luxury garments worn by Ottoman sultans and the courtly elite in Istanbul.
