The Moroccan Gandoura – What is it?
The Moroccan Gandoura is a traditional garment worn by men and women for centuries. This unique garment is deeply rooted in Islamic fashion and the cultural roots of Morocco and has a firm place in the modern wardrobe worldwide. The Gandoura, a wide, sleeveless tunic made of cotton fabric, is characterized by its flowing cut, which unites comfort with elegant style.
History and Meaning of Gandoura
The Gandoura has its roots deep in Moroccan culture. Its origins date back to the 13th century, to the time of the Marinid dynasty, and it has become increasingly popular over the centuries. The versatility of the Gandoura makes it special. Traditionally, it is used in religious festivals like the Eid festival or weddings but it has also found a place in modern Muslim fashion.
High-quality materials and artistic craftsmanship
What makes the Gandoura of Zaytouna so special is the artistic craftsmanship that goes into every detail. Every embroidery and each material is carefully selected to meet both traditional requirements and modern demands. The delicate embroidery extends from the shoulder to the chest and also adorns the sleeves. Our Gandouras are made from light, breathable materials such as high-quality linen and soft cotton.
