Indian Kaftan
Indian-inspired kaftans in rich prints and gold accents, from casual cotton to festive silk.
About our Indian kaftans
India brings its own vocabulary to the kaftan: airy chikankari whitework, shimmering gota patti borders, block prints and festival-bright palettes. This edit spans relaxed cotton lounging kaftans and occasion pieces worthy of a sangeet. Curious how the styles differ from North African cuts? Our Moroccan vs Indian kaftan guide tells the story.

Styling Indian kaftans
Lean into color: stack bangles, add jhumka-style earrings, and finish with flat sandals. For evening, a metallic belt sharpens the silhouette without hiding the prints.
Occasions and seasons
Lightweight cottons carry summer days and beach holidays; embellished georgettes step into mehndi parties, festivals and dinners. Most pieces travel beautifully - they pack flat and shake out wrinkle-free.
What is a chikankari kaftan?
Chikankari is delicate hand embroidery from Lucknow, usually tone-on-tone white threadwork on breathable fabric - subtle, artisanal and perfect for warm weather.
