Aqua blue is the colour of Dal Lake on a clear morning — the kind of blue that has green in it, that shifts depending on the light, that feels like it belongs outdoors. Set against that base, coral pink Kashmiri Aari floral embroidery with soft green accents does something unexpected — it makes the aqua calmer and the coral bolder simultaneously. The Novbahar Aqua Blue Co-ord Set is the most summer-forward piece in the collection.

Part of the Novbahar 2026 Collection by KashmirPheran — our first collection of Kashmiri Aari embroidery co-ord sets designed by artisans rooted in the Kashmir Valley — this is the piece for women who are not afraid of colour.

Made in Ruby Cotton — lightweight and breathable, the fabric that makes wearing colour in an Indian summer feel easy rather than effortful. The aqua base is vivid without being harsh, and the coral pink floral embroidery — with soft green accents that tie back to the base colour — is placed across the V-neckline, full straight sleeves, hemline of the tunic, and along the pants.

The silhouette is a straight-cut tunic with side slits at the thigh, paired with matching straight pants. The V-neckline adds definition and makes the neckline embroidery the first thing you notice. Full straight sleeves give it a completeness — when the embroidery runs the full length of the sleeve, the outfit reads as designed rather than decorated. Runs true to size.

How to Style

For a beach vacation or hill station trip — wear with white flat sandals, a rattan tote, and coral or gold stud earrings. Aqua blue and coral pink is a combination that was made for natural light — it photographs exceptionally well outdoors and requires zero effort to look intentional.

For a summer brunch — pair with nude block heels, a small structured bag in ivory or nude, and minimal gold jewellery. The V-neckline and full sleeve embroidery make this a complete outfit — keep everything else as quiet as possible and let the colours lead.

For a festive daytime occasion — style with coral pink or mint juttis to echo the embroidery palette, silver jhumkas, and a potli bag in ivory. This is the Novbahar piece that gets the most attention in a room — wear it when you want to be noticed without having to try.

About the Craft & the Artisans

Kashmiri Aari embroidery is one of India's most recognised craft traditions — and among its defining characteristics is the artisan's understanding of colour contrast. The decision to place coral pink against aqua blue, and to balance it with green accents that bridge the two, reflects a design intelligence specific to the Kashmir Valley's craft tradition — where colour combinations have been developed and refined over generations. The craft takes its name from the aari, a fine hooked needle historically used to draw thread through fabric in continuous chain-stitch loops.

The motifs on every piece in the Novbahar Collection were designed by artisans based in the Kashmir Valley — craftspeople carrying this colour and pattern knowledge forward. The embroidery is produced in Kashmir and each co-ord set is stitched and finished there — ensuring the creative and economic value of this craft stays rooted in the community that created it.

At KashmirPheran, we believe Kashmiri craft belongs in a modern wardrobe — worn with confidence, taken into the world, and shared. The Novbahar 2026 Collection is our contribution to that.
