Cartha-jinu denim shirt

Anissa Meddeb, the designer behind Anissa Aida, reinterprets a traditional Tunisian wedding garment, the “dohla,” for this denim shirt with cap sleeves, peplum, stitching and back-zip. The “dohla” is traditionally decorated in embroidered silver and gold thread, worn the first day of wedding activities when the bride is surrounded by the women in her family. This singular piece by Anissa Aida is meant to be worn loose, whether layered over another garment or on its own. Meet the designer >
