CAFTAN

The first Caftan appeared in Persia around 600 B.C. Kaftans were often worn as court robes; the splendor and specific decorations of the kaftan indicated the rank of the wearer. Sovereigns often gave ornate kaftans as a mark of favor. In the Fifties became part of the Western culture as an element of international fashion.
