Kaftan No.117 Three panel mini magenta kaftan and multicoloured motifs A video of the makingDecorated with burgundy motifs, this kaftan is woven from mint and white striped cotton and has a fun supermini length. The burgundy colour comes from the cochineal insect from which the natural dye carmine is derived. These insects are found on the pads of prickly pear cacti, then are brushed off and dried to create the dye. * Due to the natural dye process, No. 117 is a limited edition.
