Oversized kaftan in sheer cotton, hand tie-dyed in soft grey and aqua with cotton tassels along the hem. The dye method, practiced across cultures for centuries, leaves each piece patterned by chance rather than by design. Slip it over a swimsuit at the beach, wear it after yoga, or layer it over leggings at home. Available in two sizes.

Details

Design: Flowing, oversized kaftan with a relaxed V-neckline, wide dolman sleeves, side panels, and cascading tassel fringe along the hem
Size: Small/Medium (SMD): 36" long, 27" wide, plus an 8" side panel on each side. Large/XL (LXL): 38" long, 30" wide, plus an 8" side panel on each side
Material: 100% sheer cotton with cotton tassel trim, hand-dyed using traditional tie-and-dye techniques
Care: Hand wash separately for the first 2-3 washes to let the natural dyes set, then gently hand wash or dry clean as needed and lay flat to dry
Note: Each kaftan is individually hand tie-dyed, so slight variations in pattern, color saturation, and tassel placement are part of its handmade character
Origin: Handmade in India

Meaning & Intention

Tie-and-dye is one of the oldest textile arts, practiced from India's bandhani to West Africa's adire and Japan's shibori. The cloth is bound, twisted, and released into dye, and what emerges is always a small negotiation between the maker's hand and the fabric itself.

The grey and aqua palette echoes water and stone, the steady and the fluid held in one cloth. Grey is associated with grounded reflection, while aqua and turquoise strokes bring clarity and openness, cooling tones long linked to the throat and heart.

The kaftan form has its own lineage of ease, a loose garment worn for centuries across the Mediterranean, Middle East, and North Africa for hospitality and unhurried living.

Hand-tied tassels at the hem add a final note of playful movement as the fabric shifts with the body.

Essence & Elements

Questions & Guidance

Is this kaftan see-through?

Yes. The cotton is sheer by design, so it is best worn over a swimsuit, slip, or leggings rather than as a fully opaque piece on its own.

How do I choose between the two sizes?

Both sizes are cut for a loose drape. Small/Medium runs 36" long and 27" wide, and Large/XL runs 38" long and 30" wide. Choose based on your preferred length and coverage.

What occasions does it work for?

It suits a beach afternoon, poolside lounging, a post-yoga layer, or an unhurried day at home. The sheer cotton and generous cut travel well in warm weather.
