Kaftan belt: the piece that shapes the silhouette

The belt is what transforms a kaftan into an outfit: it defines the waist, structures the drape, and focuses the light. Our selection ranges from a matching, discreet, adjustable fabric belt to a jewel-like mdamma designed for wedding takchitas. The same kaftan takes on a completely different look depending on the belt you pair it with - the kaftan belt is the most cost-effective accessory in a ceremonial wardrobe. Black, gold, or silver, oriental belts are perfect for giving a kaftan a fresh look.

Complete your look with our jewelry and our Moroccan kaftans.

FAQ - Kaftan belt

What is a mdamma?

The traditional Moroccan belt, often made of worked metal or richly embellished, worn over a kaftan or takchita. It is a piece of jewelry in its own right, sometimes passed down from mother to daughter.

How do you choose a kaftan belt?

It depends on the outfit: a gold jewel belt over a simple kaftan creates a focal point of light; a discreet fabric belt works well with a heavily embroidered design that does not need competition.

At what height should it be worn?

At the natural waist, adjusted without being tight: it should shape the silhouette and hold the drape of the fabric, not constrict it. Most of our designs are adjustable.

Can one belt be worn with several kaftans?

Absolutely - that is the smart choice: a beautiful gold mdamma complements most shades and can be reused from one ceremony to the next.
