Moroccan caftans, takchitas, embroidered djellabas — these pieces are much more than just garments. They are artisanal works that embody hours of labor, precious materials, and expertise passed down through generations. They deserve special care, including how they are hung.
An unsuitable hanger can deform a caftan's shoulders, cause a silk takchita to slip, or leave marks on delicate embroidery. At Mainetti Maroc, we offer solutions designed for the realities of the Moroccan market.
Why a standard hanger is not enough for traditional attire
Traditional Moroccan attire has characteristics that ordinary hangers cannot properly handle:
- Weight: An embroidered caftan can weigh between 2 and 5 kg. A standard plastic hanger will deform and create bumps on the shoulders.
- Fullness: Caftans and takchitas have wide armholes and ample silhouettes that require sufficiently wide hanger shoulders.
- Slippery fabrics: Silk, satin, organza, muslin — these materials slide off smooth hangers and fall to the ground, risking damage to embroidery and embellishments.
- Fragile embellishments: Sequins, gold thread, beads, passementerie — any contact with a rough or ill-suited hanger can snag and irrevocably damage a piece.
SV 45 velvet — The reference hanger for caftans and djellabas
The SV 45 velvet is our flagship solution for hanging caftans and djellabas by the shoulders. Fully covered in soft velvet, it offers natural grip that prevents even the smoothest fabrics from slipping — without ever damaging them.
Its 45 cm wide shoulders conform to the generous cut of traditional Moroccan attire and maintain the silhouette without deforming the armholes. Its robustness allows it to support the weight of the heaviest pieces without bending.
- ✅ Full velvet — no slipping, no marks
- ✅ 45 cm width suitable for caftans and takchitas
- ✅ Supports heavy and embroidered pieces
- ✅ Elegant finish that enhances the piece in-store
CPIP 36 — The clip hanger for takchita skirts and short caftans
The takchita consists of two pieces: an inner dress and an overskirt. The CPIP 36 is the ideal hanger for skirts and short caftans by the waist or hem. Its clips are velvet-covered to hold the fabric firmly without marking or damaging it.
It also allows for professional presentation of 2-piece sets in-store by hanging the skirt separately beneath the dress.
- ✅ Velvet clips leave no marks on delicate fabrics
- ✅ Firm hold even on slippery fabrics
- ✅ Ideal for takchita skirts and short caftans
- ✅ Professional presentation of sets on display
AT 40 velvet — Softness for under-dresses and light pieces
Takchita under-dresses, light muslin pieces, silk indoor caftans — these fine garments require a slim-profile hanger that does not distort their silhouette. The AT 40 velvet meets this need exactly: thin, covered in soft velvet, it protects the most fragile fabrics while optimizing closet or shelf space.
- ✅ Slim profile — ideal for light fabrics and underlayers
- ✅ Soft velvet protects without snagging
- ✅ Optimizes storage and display space
