Our Story

We do not produce seasonal collections. We sculpt singular silhouettes — one woman, one occasion, one piece.

Kaftanista, formerly Boutique Ennasr, is the bespoke kaftan and takchita atelier in Sidi Bel Abbès. Nacera Chellali founded it in 1993. The atelier hand-embroiders and fits each piece for one woman and one occasion, by appointment.

Kaftanista is the name of that continuity: Algerian heritage, haute couture discipline, elegance passed from generation to generation.
