Siyah Raat | Black Night Kashmiri Embroidered Kaftan

A striking black kaftan brought to life with intricate ivory Kashmiri Tilla embroidery, inspired by the depth and stillness of the evening sky.

Crafted in a fluid black fabric, Siyah Raat is a study in contrast, where a deep, dramatic base meets the warmth of intricate ivory embroidery. The V-shaped neckline is framed with an elaborate embroidered border, leading into a signature floral Kashmiri motif placed at the centre of the kaftan.

The embroidery continues across the sleeves, with finely detailed cuffs and delicate linear accents along the arms. At the hem, an ornate Kashmiri Tilla border traces the silhouette and extends into the side panels, creating movement and definition as the kurta falls.

Inspired by the deeper hues of Shaam-e-Tilla, Siyah rant captures the moment when evening gives way to night. Its elongated silhouette and statement embroidery make it equally suited to intimate festive gatherings and elegant evening occasions, while retaining the understated sensibility of contemporary Indian dressing.

Styling Notes

Let the embroidery remain the focal point of the look by pairing Siyah rat with minimal jewellery and metallic or neutral heels. For a more traditional finish, style it with delicate jhumkas or statement earrings and a small potli. For contemporary evening dressing, keep the accessories understated and let the dramatic black silhouette speak for itself.
