What is a Moroccan takchita?

The Moroccan takchita is an iconic piece of Moroccan haute couture. It embodies the richness of a cultural heritage.

It is distinguished by its elaborate construction: composed of at least two pieces, it generally combines a tahtia (simple basic dress) and a dfina (more elaborate upper piece).

Just like the Moroccan caftan , the takchita is worn on special occasions such as weddings or engagements. It is an outfit capable of combining opulence and modernity depending on the stylistic choices.

At MAYANE, each takchita is designed as a tribute to Moroccan elegance, while still allowing room for the wearer's personality. Explore all our takchita rentals.

What is the difference between a takchita and a Moroccan caftan?

Many people confuse the Moroccan takchita with the Moroccan caftan . However, they are in fact two distinct pieces.

The caftan is a dress made up of a single piece, closed and worn alone.

The takchita , on the other hand, is a composition of several layers, which makes it a more majestic and ceremonial outfit. The Moroccan caftan has become an easier term to understand and use, because it is notably easier to popularize in everyday or commercial language.

That said, connoisseurs will always distinguish between these two Moroccan clothing icons.
