Behind this piece
The kaftan is one of the oldest silhouettes in the world, travelling from the courts of Persia and the Ottoman Empire into the wardrobes of coastal India, where it was adopted and reimagined across centuries. This midi length version honours that unhurried, cross-cultural lineage. Printed on rayon, a fibre prized for its silk-like drape and breath-ability in humid climates, the rainbow motif draws on the long Indian tradition of bold, joyful colour-work. Made to order, each piece is cut and finished individually, ensuring a fit and freshness that ready stock rarely delivers.
How to style
Wear the kaftan alone as a summer dress with flat Kolhapuri chappals in tan leather and a single row of wooden beads at the throat. For an evening gathering, layer a fitted churidar beneath and finish with oxidised silver jhumkas and strappy block-heeled sandals. On cooler evenings, a slim-fit linen jacket in ivory thrown over the shoulders keeps the look polished without crowding the print. A woven jute clutch in earthy tones grounds the rainbow palette beautifully, letting the garment remain the centrepiece across all three occasions.
Fabric & care
Rayon is a semi-synthetic fibre that breathes generously but weakens noticeably when wet, so handle it with care. Hand wash in cold water with a gentle, pH-neutral detergent; never wring or twist the fabric. Lay flat on a clean towel and roll to remove excess water, then hang in shade to dry away from direct sunlight, which fades printed colour over time. Iron on a low setting while the fabric is slightly damp, using a pressing cloth to protect the print. Store loosely folded, not compressed, to preserve the drape and prevent permanent creasing.
