Kaftans and cover-ups, from print to tassel.

Kaftans (caftans) are the backbone of most resortwear ranges: easy to size, quick to re-order and built on print and trim. We develop them from your artwork or ours, in short and long lengths, and finish them with the tie waists, tassels and borders that make them sell.

Do you make both kaftans and kaftan dresses?
Yes. We make loose kaftans and tunics as well as shaped kaftan dresses with tie waists and tiers, in short, midi and maxi lengths.
Can you develop the print for us?
Yes. Send your own artwork, or a mood board and colour direction, and we develop print options for your approval before sampling.
Is it kaftan or caftan?
Both spellings name the same garment. Caftan is more common in the US, kaftan in the UK and most other markets.
