Élara, its collar worked in pearls and stones, in a lantern-lit Granada courtyard at night

Élara is a haute couture caftan made in two satins. Hriri satin gives the body of the caftan its soft sheen; satin du soir, deeper and more structured, is kept for the belt.

Stones and crystals, by hand

The surface is decorated with stones and crystals, set in an artisanal embroidery technique. Each one is placed by hand, so the light moves across the caftan with every step.

The collar

The collar is worked in a combination of pearls and stones. It is the first thing the eye meets, and it frames the face.

Close view of Élara: stones and crystals embroidered by hand, and the jewelled belt

The cloth is the subject. The body carries it.

A belt in tarz

The belt, made in satin du soir, carries a refined tarz technique with stones and crystals, carefully worked by hand. It closes the caftan at the waist and completes the piece.

To keep, or for one evening

Élara can be bought, at €900, or rented, at €500, for a wedding or a celebration. Rental is available in Spain only; dates and conditions are agreed with the atelier before the event.

Cut to your measurements

Élara comes in S, M and L, or made to measure. Your measurements travel with your order, and the atelier confirms them with you before cutting.
