Cyprus-based textile artist Michalis Pantelidis transforms the hidden beauty of Larnaka’s underwater world into a luxurious caftan made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, now capturing international attention. The “Aquatic Harmony” caftan, a collage of photographs taken from the pristine underwater landscapes of Larnaka, is an artistic ode to the Mediterranean’s rich marine life.

This caftan combines contemporary fashion with the poetic elegance of Cypriot nature. It has recently been worn by renowned couture collector Fredrik Robertson aboard a yacht in Corsica, France, merging art, fashion, sustainability, and travel into a unique visual experience.

Michalis Pantelidis’ work reflects a deep commitment to narrative, craftsmanship, and environmental responsibility, turning Cypriot stories and environments into pieces of wearable art with purpose. The “Aquatic Harmony” caftan is a celebration of Cyprus’ natural heritage and sustainable fashion.
