This is a beautiful Hand Block print kaftan dress from Anokhi.

Anokhi is an ethical fair-trade company based in Jaipur India and they produce many of the clothes sold by East and Toast for twice the cost.

The kaftan dress is from the ‘Folk butah’ collection.  The design is a floral leaf block print and comes in purple, taupe, green, and olive green on white.

It comes with a v-neckline, batwing sleeves, two side slip pockets and a tassel tie waist.

It is a kaftan style garment and is made from 100% Indian cotton and hand block printed using plant and mineral dyes.

Hand block printing is one of the ancient artisan techniques/crafts.  Anokhi are also one of the few producers who continue to use hand mixed vegetable dyes which is the oldest colouring technique.  Therefore, the result of the hand printing process is not machine perfect but unique, with slight variations to each item.

Wash this garment separately in cold water (30°).

Please see photos to get an idea of the print and style – unfortunately, they do not do the kaftan dress justice!

I bought the kaftan dress in India last year, but sadly I have not had the opportunity to wear it. 

The kaftan dress in new - with the tags.

This kaftan dress is labelled as a free size; please note these are Indian sizing though it is ‘oversized’ and roomy.  I expect anyone from size UK 8 to 18 could wear it.

The length of the dress is approx. 46 inches or 117 cms long.

It can be worn as a dress, or it is ideal as a cover-up on the beach or could be worn with leggings etc as a tunic.

Any questions please ask.

Please pay within 24 hours of purchase and I will post the following working day.
