About the Item

Chapan is the iconic fornt-open flowing robe traditionally worn by the nomadic people in Central Asia. In countries like Uzbekistan, it was almost the old national costume. This Uzbeck chapan was made from a finely woven ikat cotton fabric. It showcases a brilliant color palette and bedazzling patterns. Tailored to symmetrically display the striking ikat motifs, the garment was hand-sewn and lined and dated to 1930-50s. The robe was lined interiorly with a bright floral cotton and the edges of the frontal opening and sleeves were all rimmed with ribbon. The workmanship was refined and detailed. The chapan can be enjoyed hanging on a wall as a piece of textile art, but it could also be worn as a bespoken long jacket.
