Despite the decline in oil prices, petroleum-rich Azerbaijan is as dazzling as ever — particularly in its Caspian-front capital, Baku.

While most of Baku’s fashion scene is dominated by global brands, local designer Menzer Hajiyeva is an elegant exception.

She studied at Parsons, interned at Lanvin and opened her eponymous atelier three years ago with a focus on traditional styles with global appeal.

Scarves are her signature — mostly woven locally using ancient wax techniques.

And patterns reflect traditional Azerbaijani icons — notably pomegranates, local fish and flowers. Hajiyeva’s must buy, however, is her “caviar” scarf — a whimsical, colorful, Hermès-inspired silk confection festooned with tins of the Caspian’s most valuable product besides oil.

Eye-catching and versatile, it makes for an excellent souvenir from one of the world’s few remaining under-the-radar regions ($75).
