about the piece,

Description

There is a quietness to this kaftan, the way morning light settles on a leaf still wet with dew. Cut from a fluid georgette that catches air and releases it slowly, the fabric carries a soft mist-green ground printed with botanical leaf motifs rendered in the tradition of block and screen printing that has long dressed the subcontinent in its own garden imagery. Georgette's open weave lends the silhouette an easy weightlessness, draping close without clinging, making it equally suited to a slow afternoon at home or a garden gathering where comfort and elegance are not asked to compromise. The leaf print, restrained in its palette, speaks to a sensibility that values the understated; it is the kind of pattern that rewards a second glance. The free-size cut acknowledges that ease of wear is itself a form of craft. Pair it with flat Kolhapuri sandals and unpolished silver jewellery to let the print breathe. A linen tote in ivory or warm tan would complete the effortless, considered ease this kaftan naturally suggests.

the story,

Behind this piece

The kaftan, as a silhouette, travelled from the Ottoman courts through Persia and into the subcontinent, where it found a quiet, enduring home in the wardrobes of women who valued ease without apology. Georgette, a crêpe-weave fabric named after the French dressmaker Georgette de la Plante, has been woven in Varanasi and Surat for decades, prized for its featherweight drape and whispering translucency. The leaf motif printed across this mist-green ground draws from India's long tradition of botanical block and screen printing, where the natural world is never merely decoration but always meaning.

to wear it,

How to style

Wear this kaftan over slim white cotton palazzo trousers for an unhurried afternoon at a gallery or a slow Sunday lunch. For an evening gathering, layer it over a fitted silk slip in ivory and anchor the look with oxidised silver jhumkas and flat Kolhapuri chappals in tan. If you prefer a more structured silhouette, cinch it at the waist with a thin hand-woven ikat belt and pair with straight-leg kurta trousers in ecru. The mist-green reads beautifully against both warm gold and cool silver tones, making jewellery choices genuinely flexible.

Fabric & care

Georgette demands gentleness. Hand wash in cool water with a mild, pH-neutral detergent, keeping agitation minimal to preserve the crêpe texture and the integrity of the printed motif. Do not wring; press the fabric gently between a clean towel to remove excess water. Dry in shade, flat or on a padded hanger, away from direct sunlight, which can shift the mist-green tone over time. Iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth between iron and fabric. Store folded in muslin or breathable cotton, never in plastic, to allow the fibre to rest properly.

Each piece is hand-loomed by artisan clusters we work with directly across India. Small irregularities in the weave are the hallmark of handloom — not a defect.
