Behind this piece
The kaftan as a silhouette carries centuries of courtly memory, from the Ottoman empire through the Mughal zenana, where long, flowing robes signified ease and authority in equal measure. This interpretation renders that legacy in lustrous satin, printed with a bold zebra motif in forest green and ivory cream. The stonework at the neck follows a tradition of surface embellishment practised by artisans across Rajasthan and Gujarat, where hand-set stones and beads have long elevated everyday cloth into something ceremonial. Made to order, each piece is cut and finished individually, ensuring the pattern falls with deliberate precision.
How to style
For an evening gathering, wear this kaftan with flat gold kolhapuri sandals and a single temple-gold choker that echoes the neckline stonework without competing with it. At a beach resort or poolside celebration, layer over wide-leg ivory palazzos and finish with shell or turquoise drop earrings. For a festive daytime occasion, tuck a fine silk scarf in saffron or rust into a woven basket bag, grounding the graphic print with warmer tones. The kaftan's volume is its strength; keep accessories minimal and let the silhouette breathe.
Fabric & care
Satin, whether woven from polyester or silk-blend fibres, demands patient handling. Hand wash in cold water with a gentle, pH-neutral detergent, keeping agitation minimal to preserve the surface sheen. Never wring. Roll the garment in a clean cotton towel to remove excess moisture, then dry flat in shade, away from direct sunlight, which causes colour shift over time. Iron on the reverse side at a low, silk-appropriate setting to protect the lustre. For the stone embellishment at the neck, avoid soaking that section. Store folded in soft muslin, not on a wire hanger.
