Gulbahar — White Kashmiri Kaftan with Red and Green Floral Aari Embroidery

Red and green embroidery on white is the colour grammar that Kashmiri Aari craft has spoken for centuries. Not because it is conventional, but because it is correct — the white ground making red more vivid and green more alive than either would be on any other base. The Gulbahar White Heritage Kashmiri Kaftan speaks this grammar fluently: deep red rose-like blooms and fine green leafy vines arranged across the body with a density at the neckline and a distribution across the body that reflects centuries of design intelligence. A piece that needs no introduction because its language is already known. The Gulbahar by Hamiast brings Kashmir's most enduring craft traditions into contemporary kaftan silhouettes — wearable expressions of the valley's living heritage. Made in crush cotton for all-day ease. Free-flowing kaftan silhouette with wide sleeves. The red and green embroidery is placed at the neckline with density, distributed across the body with balance, and completed with border detailing at the hemline. Produced by artisans in the Kashmir Valley.

The Craft Behind the Collection The rose-like blooms and leafy vine motifs in this kaftan trace directly to the Kashmir Valley's garden flora — a botanical vocabulary that Kashmiri Aari artisans have been refining for generations. Red and green on white represents the craft at its most classically expressive: maximum colour, maximum clarity, maximum cultural resonance. Designed by artisan designers in the Kashmir Valley, embroidered and finished there by Kashmiri craftspeople.
