Arsia Embroidered Cotton Kaftan Dress

The ARSIA caftan dress is a carry-over from the Fortela collection, born from Alessia Giacobino's vintage archive. It stands out as one of the most refined and significant pieces, transforming a classic caftan into a precious dress, perfect for multiple formal and elegant occasions. This exemplary piece represents a perfect fusion of craftsmanship and contemporary design, making it a distinctive and highly desirable garment. Crafted from 100% slightly sheer Cotton Muslin in a delicate ivory colour with contrasting embroidery, the dress offers a comfortable and elegant fit, ideal for summer days or special events in warm places. The light weave of the cotton ensures that, despite being loose, the garment maintains a flowing fall, with a dramatic visual impact. The decoration is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. The micro embroidery applied manually, using colored threads in three shades of turquoise and blue, along with a long rope with a tassel placed on the neckline, add a touch of sophistication and movement. The complex ornamental pattern captures the attention and each element is carefully placed to enhance the overall design, making each caftan unique. Perfect for special occasions like beach weddings, elegant dinners or outdoor social events, this caftan can be worn with sandals for a casual boho-chic look or with heels for a more refined outfit. On the back, the iconic Fortela stitching made with orange thread embodies the philosophy of the brand, which creates each piece to last over time and age together with the wearer, carrying with it a piece of history revisited in the light of Alessandro Squarzi's inspiration and study.
