This varied landscape of taste and aesthetic is best illustrated in the traditional fashions adopted in the regions across the country. Organized into five provinces (north, south, east, west, and central), Saudi Costumes reflects the overlap in style between those tribes that lived in similar terrains or were geographically adjacent. This title explores the diverse influences that have affected the cultural DNA and style of Saudi Arabia.

These pieces were then expertly photographed by Laziz Hamani and compiled in this volume to present a never-before-published collection of Saudi heritage, through the medium of costumes.
Complimentary white gloves and a signature canvas tote bag are included with each purchase from Assouline's Ultimate Collection.
