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 caftan provides a sober, deep foundation. Over it, the black-and-gold tlija over-caftan 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 up this dense fabric: made entirely of black lace with a baroque pattern, they add a touch of sheer lightness that softens the silhouette and contrasts with the richness of the bodice. A black velvet panel trims the shoulders, echoed in the belt, where an ornate buckle made of braided gold threads fastens the ensemble like a piece of jewelry.
What occasions are suitable for wearing this black-and-gold takchita?
Melifera is a striking choice for a Moroccan wedding, gala evening, or winter reception where a commanding piece is desired, away from softer shades. The black-and-gold contrast makes it particularly suited to evenings when subdued lighting brings out the full brilliance of the tlija.
In summary:
- Two-piece takchita: black half-silk sleeveless caftan + black-and-gold tlija over-caftan
- Black lace sleeves with a baroque pattern
- Black velvet shoulder panel
- Black velvet belt with an ornate gold buckle
- Gold 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 sunlight.
