Melifera Kaftan, Black and Gold Takchita
Melifera, a black and gold takchita with a fractured pattern
This black and gold takchita consists of two pieces that embrace absolute contrast. The sleeveless black half-silk inner kaftan creates a sober, deep foundation. Over it, the black and gold tlija over-kaftan unfolds a fractured, almost mineral pattern, with golden lines branching like flashes of light against a dark background—an arresting effect that changes in intensity depending on the angle.
The long sleeves break with this dense fabric: made entirely of black lace with a baroque pattern, they bring a light transparency that softens the silhouette and contrasts with the richness of the bodice. A black velvet panel trims the shoulders, with the same material repeated for the belt, where an ornate buckle made of braided golden threads fastens the ensemble like a jewel.
What occasions is this black and gold takchita suitable for?
Melifera is perfect for a Moroccan wedding, a gala evening, or a winter reception when you want a statement piece far from softer shades. The black and gold contrast makes it particularly well suited to evenings when subdued lighting brings out the full radiance of the tlija.
In summary:
- Two-piece takchita: sleeveless black half-silk kaftan + black and gold tlija over-kaftan
- Black lace sleeves with a baroque pattern
- Black velvet shoulder panel
- Black velvet belt with an ornate gold buckle
- Golden fractured pattern on a black background
Care: dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the tlija, velvet, and lace; store the takchita on a wide hanger away from direct light.
