Behind this piece
The kaftan's lineage travels through the courts of Persia and the Ottoman empire before finding its most unhurried expression in India, where flowing silhouettes became synonymous with ease and occasion alike. This piece renders that legacy in lustrous satin, its trekking-green ground alive with floral motifs drawn from the botanical vocabulary of Indian printed textiles. Stone work, applied by skilled karigar hands, catches light the way temple jewellery once caught lamplight in evening rituals. Made to order, it exists precisely for one wearer, assembled with deliberate patience rather than the speed of mass production.
How to style
For a garden evening or a rooftop gathering, wear this kaftan with flat Kolhapuri sandals in tan leather and long oxidised silver earrings to balance the stone-embellished neckline. On a festive occasion, cinch a slim metallic belt at the waist and pair with block-heeled mojris in champagne silk. For more relaxed daywear, layer over straight-cut ivory palazzos, add a wicker clutch, and keep jewellery minimal: a single gold bangle suffices. The trekking-green reads well against warm skin tones and both deep and neutral backgrounds.
Fabric & care
Satin is a weave structure, not a fibre alone, and its characteristic sheen demands gentle handling. Hand wash in cool water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent, working without wringing or twisting the fabric. Rinse once and press out excess water by folding the garment into a clean towel. Dry flat in shade, away from direct sunlight, which yellows and dulls satin over time. Iron on a low-heat setting with a pressing cloth between iron and fabric to protect the stone work. Store folded in a muslin bag, never on a wire hanger.
