The Drift Kaftan

INR 17,600

Made to order · dispatched in 12 days · Women

Cut wide from the shoulder so the cloth never touches the ribs. Hand block-printed in natural indigo — every repeat sits slightly off its neighbour, because a human hand placed it. The drawstring is the only structure; release it and the garment returns to a single rectangle of cloth. Side slits open to the thigh so the air moves through rather than around.

Cut only after you order it. Zero synthetic fibres, zero plastic — the parcel arrives in kraft and muslin, with a raw swatch of this fabric.

Care & patina+
Wash separately the first three times — natural indigo gives up its surface dye and will keep doing so. Cold water, line dry in shade. The colour will soften; that is the point. Natural fibres evolve — the garment softens and molds to you. We call it the patina of ease.
Shipping & returns+
Complimentary worldwide shipping, dispatched in 12 days. Because each piece is cut to order, we offer remakes and alterations rather than disposal returns — write to us within 14 days. Full policy.
How to find your size+
Measure your body, not a garment you own — the air gap of 4.2 cm is already built into the cut. Full size guide, or have it cut to your measurements with bespoke.
