Teal is the colour of Dal Lake in the afternoon — part blue, part green, entirely Kashmir. Against this base, multicolour Kashmiri Aari embroidery in pink, blush, and soft lavender with green accents does something specific — it makes the teal calmer and the florals more vivid simultaneously. The Novbahar Teal Green Kaftan is the most botanical piece in the collection.

Part of the Novbahar 2026 Collection by KashmirPheran — our celebration of Kashmiri Aari craft in contemporary silhouettes — this kaftan is made in crush cotton, lightweight and breathable, chosen for its fluid drape and all-day ease.

The multicolour floral Aari embroidery — inspired by traditional Kashmiri wildflower motifs — is distributed across the body, with a refined neckline that creates a deliberate focal point. The wide kaftan sleeves and free-flowing knee-length silhouette are designed to drape gracefully across all body types, as effortless at a casual gathering as at a daytime festive occasion.

About the Craft & the Artisans

Kashmiri Aari embroidery takes its name from the aari — a fine hooked needle used to create continuous chain-stitch motifs. The floral designs on this piece draw directly from Kashmir's natural landscape — its wildflowers, blooming gardens, and valley flora — interpreted by artisan designers in the Kashmir Valley. The embroidery is produced in Kashmir and each piece is finished there, ensuring the craft and its value stay rooted in the community that created it.

At KashmirPheran, we believe Kashmiri craft belongs in a modern wardrobe — not behind glass, but worn, lived in, and taken into the world.
