Cotton Kaftan Shirts for Women

A printed cotton shirt is an easy alternative to a kurti. Our women's shirts are short kaftan shirts: relaxed, breezy and comfortable in warm weather.

They are printed by hand in Jaipur, so each one has its own character.

Why a kaftan shirt

• Easy fit: the relaxed cut suits most body types.
• Cool: pure cotton breathes in summer.
• Versatile: wear it tucked, knotted or open over a tee.

How to style it

How to care for it

• Wash in cold water with a mild detergent, separately for the first two or three washes.
• Do not soak for long or use bleach.
• Dry in the shade; strong sun fades hand printed colours over time.
• Iron on medium heat, from the reverse side for darker prints.

Small variations in colour and alignment are natural in hand block printing. They show the piece was made by hand, and no two are exactly the same.
