Ivory and black is not a compromise — it is a decision. The Novbahar Ivory White Kaftan with Black Aari Embroidery is the most monochrome and the most timeless piece in the collection. Black floral and vine Kashmiri Aari motifs against an ivory base create a contrast that is sharp, refined, and entirely its own. The dense neckline embroidery draws attention upward. Subtle motifs across the body and borders add balance without overwhelming the ivory ground. This is the kaftan that works for every occasion, for every decade, without ever needing to be explained.

Part of the Novbahar 2026 Collection by KashmirPheran — our celebration of Kashmiri craft in contemporary silhouettes — this kaftan is made in crush cotton, keeping the ivory crisp and the drape clean across a full day.

The relaxed, free-flowing silhouette with wide kaftan sleeves suits all body types — versatile enough for everyday wear, refined enough for understated occasions.

About the Craft & the Artisans

Working with black embroidery on an ivory ground is among the most technically precise applications of Kashmiri Aari craft — every motif placement is visible, every spacing decision is permanent. The bold black florals in this piece reflect a contemporary interpretation of traditional Kashmiri design — heritage motifs reimagined in a monochrome palette that belongs in a modern wardrobe. The designs were conceived by artisan designers in the Kashmir Valley, produced there, and finished there.
