There are co-ords that are designed to be seen from the front. And then there is the Novbahar Black Co-ord Set with Dusty Pink Floral Embroidery — a piece where the embroidery runs across both the front and back neckline, so that the detail does not disappear the moment you turn around. In a collection of carefully designed pieces, this one carries the most considered finish. Dusty pink floral motifs with sage green accents on jet black — soft enough to be worn anywhere, complete enough to need nothing added.

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 that rewards a closer look, from every angle.

Made in Ruby Cotton — lightweight and breathable, carrying the black without heaviness across long days and evenings. The dusty pink Kashmiri Aari floral embroidery with sage green accents runs across the notched round neckline on the front and back, full sleeves, hemline of the tunic, and along the pants. The sage green accents within the pink embroidery create a layered quality to the design — at a distance it reads as dusty pink on black, up close the green detail reveals itself as a second conversation happening within the same motif.

The silhouette is a straight-cut tunic with side slits at the thigh, paired with matching straight pants. The notched round neckline frames the face cleanly. Full sleeves carry the embroidery from shoulder to wrist. Relaxed, structured, and true-to-size.

How to Style

For a dinner or evening occasion — pair with dusty rose or nude pointed heels, a minimal black or nude clutch, and small pearl or rose gold earrings. The back neckline embroidery means this piece looks as good walking away as it does arriving — wear your hair up or in a low bun to let it show.

For casual outings — style with white sneakers, a tan or cognac leather crossbody, and simple gold hoops. Dusty pink on black reads as effortlessly put-together for daytime — the sage green accents keep it from feeling too formal. A co-ord that requires no occasion to justify itself.

For festive gatherings — wear with antique gold jhumkas, a black silk potli bag, and gold kolhapuris or block heels. The dense floral embroidery across front, back, and sleeves makes this the most richly finished piece in the Novbahar Collection — it carries a festive occasion without needing additional decoration.

About the Craft & the Artisans

Embroidering across both the front and back neckline of a garment is a design decision that speaks to completeness — the belief that a piece should be considered from every angle, not just the one facing a mirror. This finishing detail, present in the most carefully crafted pieces of Kashmiri embroidery tradition, is what separates a decorated garment from a designed one. The sage green accents within the dusty pink floral motifs reflect the artisan's understanding of colour layering — a technique specific to the Kashmir Valley's embroidery tradition. 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 design and finishing 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 from every angle, noticed from every room. The Novbahar 2026 Collection is our contribution to that.
