We've now re-imagined our best selling purple belted kaftan in a beautifully draping silk that is both soft and luxurious. A most sumptuous yet restrained statement sure to wow at any black tie event. The rich purple of the Alessandra Belted Kaftan is a true royal purple—the one with deep blue undertones perfected by the Phoenicians millennia ago. It was a dye so rare and precious that only royalty could wear it, from Cyrus the Great of Persian to Roman Emperors to rulers of the Byzantium. Today, deep purple is evocative of regal connotations from the past. The royal blue belt creates the illusion of a smaller waist, even on waists that are not actually small. However, the belt may be removed, if preferable. • 100% silk• The finish has a slight sheen • Slips on • The royal blue sash belt is included and fully removable • Falls to the ankle, 55" long • Hand wash in cold water or dry clean • Made in India SHOP ALL KAFTANS
