• Rare and collectible antique Syrian abayah textile cloak
• Traditionally made from two pieces of fabric, each the width of a loom, connected horizontally along the middle with a subtle seam
• The fabric is hand-woven from brown camel hair and the decorative work is both embroidered and loom weaved with gold threads
• The decorative pattern is only woven on the top width of the fabric, leaving all of the remaining parts of the garment solid brown
• This rectangular garment is open down the front with small openings for hands. When not worn, the fabric may look like a carpet or swath of upholstery material, but when the body is expertly wrapped in the abayah the fabric turns into an extravagant garment, almost resembling a wide Japanese kimono. The subtle gold embellishment and the sheen of the woven threads contribute to creating artistic shading in the folds and drapes of the garment.
• Dramatic cocoon shape
• Generous and roomy free size, however the arm openings are only 15cm
• Beautiful piece you can keep forever to wear or display
• I would say this is in bohemian condition reflective of its 100 year age. It is completely wearable but has small holes, faint marks throughout, for those that prefer their vintage with stories and character
