It occupies a room the moment it enters. The \u003cstrong\u003eNovbahar Royal Blue Kaftan\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most graphic piece in the collection — white Kashmiri Aari daisy and fern motifs with black centres against a saturated royal blue base, a geometric chevron trim running the length of the V-neckline, and a bold sculptural neckline composition that spreads outward across the chest like a botanical illustration. This is the kaftan you wear when you want the piece to speak first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the \u003cstrong\u003eNovbahar 2026 Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e by KashmirPheran — our celebration of Kashmiri craft in contemporary silhouettes — this kaftan is made in \u003cstrong\u003ecrush cotton\u003c\/strong\u003e, lightweight and breathable, carrying the depth of royal blue without heaviness across long days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe embroidery is entirely in white with black accents at the flower centres — a three-colour design that creates a graphic precision specific to this piece. The neckline composition is the most architecturally spread of any kaftan in the Novbahar Collection — large daisy-like flowers, spreading fern and leaf motifs, and a pendant drop below the V — framed on both sides by a black and white chevron trim that adds structure to the neckline edge. Five individual daisy and leaf sprig motifs are scattered across the front body, each with the same black-centred flower detail. A single sprig sits at the centre back. The white scroll border traces the hemline and sleeve edges, completing the piece cleanly from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection\u003c\/strong\u003e — Novbahar 2026, KashmirPheran\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — Crush Cotton — lightweight, breathable, soft drape with natural texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Royal blue base with white and black Kashmiri Aari embroidery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilhouette\u003c\/strong\u003e — Wide batwing kaftan — dramatic flared sleeves, asymmetric hemline (longer at sides)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckline\u003c\/strong\u003e — Deep V-neckline with geometric black and white chevron trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmbroidery Detail\u003c\/strong\u003e — Kashmiri Aari embroidery in white with black flower centres — large sculptural neckline composition with daisy, fern and pendant motifs, five scattered front body sprigs, single back sprig, white scroll border on hemline and sleeve edges.

The black centres create visual depth within each flower, giving the motifs a dimensional quality that flat single-colour embroidery cannot achieve. The geometric chevron trim along the V-neckline edge reflects the artisan's understanding of how structure and fluidity can coexist in the same garment — the trim anchors the neckline while the floral motifs spread freely beyond it. These design choices were made by artisan designers in the Kashmir Valley, where embroidery is understood as a complete design language, not just decoration. The embroidery is produced in Kashmir and each piece is finished there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt KashmirPheran, we believe Kashmiri craft belongs in a modern wardrobe — graphic where it needs to be, fluid everywhere else. The Novbahar 2026 Collection is our contribution to that.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hamiast Fashion","offers":[{"title":"Blue \/ One size","offer_id":48819557105914,"sku":"HA.SMFAF.12","price":2699.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9983\/3850\/files\/IMG_1031.jpg?v=1777725398","url":"https:\/\/www.kashmiripheran.com\/fr\/products\/novbahar-royal-blue-kashmiri-kaftan-white-aari-embroidery","provider":"Kashmiri Pheran","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
