Behind this piece
The kaftan carries within it a long memory. From the royal courts of Persia and the Ottoman empire, it travelled across trade routes to become, in the hands of Indian textile culture, something altogether its own: a garment that breathes, drapes, and moves with the wearer. This printed version honours that legacy through a bold repeat pattern, a fitted waist sash that cinches the silhouette with intention, and a floor-length fall that recalls the unhurried elegance of evening. Made to order, each piece is cut and finished after you choose, reducing waste and ensuring fit.
How to style
For a destination wedding or sundowner gathering, wear the Fairway colourway with gold kolhapuri sandals and a single strand of polki. Festival Fuchsia pairs well with block-printed cotton trousers underneath for a layered, Indo-bohemian evening look; finish with oxidised silver jhumkas. Pirate Black is the most versatile: wear it to a gallery opening with minimal jewellery and pointed leather mules. Royal Lilac softens beautifully against ivory embroidered dupatta draped loose at the shoulder. Across all four colours, keep the waist sash firmly tied to anchor the silhouette.
Fabric & care
Polyester holds colour and shape exceptionally well, but it rewards gentle handling. Machine wash on a delicate cycle in cold water, using a mild liquid detergent without enzymes. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, as this can distort the print over time. Tumble dry on the lowest setting, or lay flat to air dry away from direct sunlight. If ironing is needed, use a low heat setting with a pressing cloth between the iron and the printed surface. Store hanging, not folded, to prevent crease lines forming along the sash ties.
