Gulbahar — Ivory White Kashmiri Kaftan with Black Aari Embroidery
Description
Some colour relationships in Kashmiri embroidery have endured for centuries because they are simply correct. Ivory and black is one of them — the warmth of the ivory base making the black embroidery feel settled rather than stark, the precision of the black motifs giving the ivory ground a structure it would not otherwise possess. The Gulbahar Ivory Classic Kashmiri Kaftan is built on that correctness. Dense black floral and vine Aari motifs at the neckline, lighter scattered work across the body and borders — a piece that is complete, considered, and entirely its own.
The Gulbahar by Hamiast brings Kashmir's Aari embroidery craft into kaftans that work across occasions, seasons, and personal styles — the timeless alongside the seasonal.
Made in crush cotton — soft, breathable, and kind to warm-weather dressing — with a free-flowing silhouette and wide kaftan sleeves. The ivory base is bright enough to keep the black embroidery vivid without harshness. Designed and produced by artisans in the Kashmir Valley.

Style Notes
Everyday wear — pair with black flat sandals or white sneakers and minimal silver jewellery. Ivory and black requires no styling decision — it is already resolved.
Professional or formal settings — style with nude pointed flats, a structured bag, and small pearl studs. Monochrome ethnic wear reads as quiet confidence in formal contexts.
Gifting — the most universally appropriate kaftan in the Gulbahar by Hamiast. Ivory and black suits every personal style and every occasion. A thoughtful gift that does not impose a preference.
The Craft Behind the Collection
Black embroidery on an ivory ground is a design choice that leaves no room for imprecision — every motif is fully visible and every spacing decision is immediately apparent. The dense neckline work in this kaftan represents a high level of embroidery skill, requiring consistent tension and deliberate placement across a broad composition. Designed by artisan designers in the Kashmir Valley, produced and finished there by Kashmiri craftspeople.
