Sumptuous fabric, shining metal and delicate threads abound in this luxurious three-volume boxed set on traditional Moroccan costume

Caftans, embroidered textiles and belts are an integral part of Morocco's dresses and heritage, embodying its identity and expressing its uniqueness and permanence throughout history. The richness and diversity of these garments, varying from region to region, and Moroccan costume in general have never failed to arouse the admiration of international travelers from the 16th to the 18th century and the Orientalist painters of the 19th century, attesting to their timeless aesthetics. Moroccan costume provides a concrete insight into the art of living and way of life of the inhabitants, revealing the ingenuity and talent of the artisans and their ability to open up to the outside world without denying their roots. This three-volume bilingual (English/French) box set reveals for the first time the richness of an exceptional private collection.
