about the piece,

Description

There are colours that do not ask for permission, and cherry red has always known this. This long kaftan is cut from fluid georgette, a fabric that moves with the ease of a slow afternoon and catches light without demanding it. Across the neckline, Aari embroidery traces its careful path, worked with the fine hooked needle that artisans across Kashmir and parts of Uttar Pradesh have wielded for generations, building texture from thread one deliberate stitch at a time. The printed surface beneath adds depth without noise, allowing the embroidery to remain the quiet centre of attention. At fifty-six inches in length and generous in width, the silhouette is unhurried and accommodating, suited to the kind of dressing that values ease as much as elegance. It moves well through festive evenings, informal gatherings, and the slower rhythms of a holiday afternoon. Wear it with kolhapuris or flat leather sandals and let the kaftan speak without interruption. A single pair of oxidised silver earrings completes the thought without overcrowding it.

the story,

Behind this piece

Aari embroidery takes its name from the hooked needle, the aari, used by craftspeople across Kashmir and parts of Gujarat to draw thread into fabric with extraordinary precision. On this kaftan, the technique appears at the neckline: fine chain-stitch loops worked into georgette, a cloth that shifts and catches light with every movement. Cherry red georgette is a considered choice here, warm enough to hold the embroidery's detail without competing with it. The made-to-order nature ensures the embroidery is executed fresh, not pulled from inventory, preserving the integrity of each stitch placed by hand.

How to style

For a summer evening gathering, wear this kaftan over slim ivory palazzo trousers and flat Kolhapuri chappals in tan leather. The embroidered neckline reads as jewellery in itself, so keep accessories minimal: perhaps small gold jhumkas, nothing heavier. For a beach holiday or resort setting, let the kaftan stand alone as a full look, paired with block-printed mules. For a festive daytime occasion, layer a fine silk dupatta in champagne gold across one shoulder, and choose low block-heel sandals in nude leather to elongate the silhouette without drawing focus from the embroidery.

Fabric & care

Georgette is a delicate crepe-weave fabric and requires gentle handling throughout its life. Hand wash in cool water with a mild, pH-neutral detergent, keeping agitation to a minimum to prevent the fabric from snagging or losing its characteristic drape. Never wring. Roll the kaftan in a clean cotton towel to remove excess water, then hang-dry in shade away from direct sunlight, which fades cherry red tones quickly. Steam rather than iron, holding the steamer slightly above the surface. Store folded in soft muslin, away from synthetic fabrics, to protect both the georgette and the Aari-worked neckline from distortion.

Frequently asked

Each piece is hand-picked from artisan clusters we work with directly across India. Some are handloomed on traditional pit looms, others use block-printing, hand-embroidery, or heritage techniques passed down through generations. Small irregularities are part of the character — not a defect.
