Gul-e-Shaam | Taupe Kashmiri Embroidered Kaftan

A soft, muted silhouette brought to life with intricate Kashmiri embroidery, inspired by the warm, fading tones of the evening.

Gul-e-Shaam, meaning the flower of the evening, captures the softer side of Shyam-e-Tilla. Set against a delicate taupe-mauve base, the kurta is detailed with elaborate tonal gold embroidery that draws the eye from the neckline down through the length of the silhouette.

The neckline features an ornate Kashmiri embroidered panel with a traditional paisley-inspired composition, extending into a statement central motif. Fine scattered embellishments across the body add a subtle shimmer, reminiscent of the last traces of light across an evening sky.

The sleeves are finished with intricate embroidered cuffs, while the hem is framed with a richly detailed Kashmiri border and distinctive embroidered corner motifs. The result is a graceful, elongated silhouette where the richness of the embroidery is balanced by the quiet elegance of the base.

Designed as an evening piece, Gul-e-Shaam brings together the romance of traditional Kashmiri embroidery with a contemporary, effortless silhouette—made for occasions where understated detail speaks louder than excess.

Styling Notes

Keep the styling refined and let the embroidery take centre stage. Pair Gul-e-Shaam with delicate gold jewellery and tonal or metallic heels for an elegant evening look. For a more traditional interpretation, add statement jhumkas and a small potli. The muted colour palette also lends itself beautifully to minimal contemporary accessories.

Craftsmanship

At House of DSAK, Kashmiri embroidery forms an integral part of our design language. We reinterpret the visual vocabulary of Kashmir through contemporary silhouettes, intricate embroidery and modern colour stories.

For Shaam-e-Tilla, traditional Kashmiri motifs are placed against the changing hues of evening—creating pieces that feel rooted in craft while remaining relevant to the modern wardrobe.

Gul-e-Shaam is a reflection of that approach: intricate, considered and quietly expressive.
