Fabulous 1960s Josefa Hand Muted Charcoal & Coral Cotton Caftan w Hand Embroidered Details designer-bill-tice From the S/S 2002 collectionI love Josefa caftans and have covered the history of the label a couple of times in my Instagram. They are like owning a piece of wearable art. Every single one of them was entirely hand made and detailed. They were made in Mexico in the late sixties to early seventies and were the epitome of Bohemian chic in their day. They are easy to wear pieces that can go from the beach, to exploring far off markets, to being worn as an evening piece depending
