Brown - Bagh Hand Block Print Cotton Kaftan with Tie-Up Waist (Short)

Every product page has a size chart with bust, waist, hip, and length measurements in inches and centimetres. Measure a garment that fits you well and compare with our chart.

Our kaftans are ready to wear unless the listing says 'unstitched.' Stitched pieces ship as-is. Unstitched pieces need a tailor. we include measurement guidance where needed.

The fit type is noted on every product page. Most of our kaftans have a relaxed, comfortable fit. If you prefer a closer fit, consider going one size down.

We recommend hand washing for the first 2-3 washes. After that, gentle machine wash works for most cotton and blended kaftans. Silk and embroidered pieces need hand wash only.

Solid-colour or subtle-print kaftans in cotton or linen work well as smart-casual office wear. Bolder prints and heavier embroidery suit events. Check the product images for versatility.

Bagh printing comes from the town of Bagh in Madhya Pradesh, near the Bagh river. It uses only natural red and black dyes on cotton. The Khatri families here have a GI-tagged tradition going back centuries.
