Salmon Kaftan

A warm salmon, closer to clay than to pink, which is why it works on more skin tones than the name suggests. The kaftan is the most formal thing we make: a long-sleeved Moroccan thobe cut closer through the shoulders and chest than a gandoura, so it fits tailored rather than draped. Two working pockets, which is rarer in a kaftan than it should be. Collar: Zipped. Stands upright with no fold, so the embroidery reads cleanly from the neck down. Placket: Embroidered down the centre chest, with a concealed zip at the neck. The zip opens far enough to pull the kaftan on and off without disturbing the collar. Sleeve: Long, finished with embroidery at the cuff for that extra bit of shine. Fabric: Polyester and rayon blend. It holds a drape, resists creasing when you sit, and does not need pressing after a day out. Pockets: Two, set into the side seams, deep enough for a phone and keys. Fit: Tailored. Closer through the shoulders and chest than our gandoura. For a roomier fit, feel free to size up. Measurements are on the size guide. Best for: Warm weather Eid, daytime weddings, summer gatherings. Salmon is a daylight colour, and it looks best outdoors or in a bright hall. Wash instructions: Hand wash or dry clean only. Do not squeeze or twist. Lighter shades may carry washable tailor marks, and slight colour variation can occur between restocks.
