Description
CREATION KAFTAN. Stripe by A Perfect Nomad. A statement making kaftan inspired by the Mayan culture and using only natural raw elements. The terracotta and ecru striped kaftan features: gentle V-neck to the front, wide classic shape with elbow length sleeves and heavy hand-tassled details in a contrast yellow ochre to the front and back. The thread for this piece has been woven on a traditional foot loom, an ancient art and process that involves the artist Don Rudy taking four days to weave each single kaftan. The fabric was naturally dyed using a mix of botanical plants to create this rich earthy hue. One of the main ingredients in the dye is the bark of the plantain tree. Handwash only. Designed in the wandering of A Perfect Nomad. Made by artisans using time-honoured crafts and techniques in Guatemala. A Perfect Nomad at www.youngbritishdesigners.com One Size fits most.
