Bold and water-bright, the Lyla in turquoise is a piece you'll reach for every morning of a warm trip. Hand-dyed in a clear, deep turquoise, the color swirls across the fabric in the way that only handwork produces — no two pieces the same. The cotton gauze is light as a breath, naturally breathable, and made for days in the sun.
A note on this fabric: cotton gauze is semi-sheer in natural light. Pair with a swimsuit or slip for effortless beach-to-table wear. One size fits most up to US 2XL.

The Lyla in mauve is dyed the old way — using pigments drawn from plants and natural materials, painted directly onto the fabric by artisans whose skill shows in every subtle shift of tone. Because the work is done entirely by hand, each piece carries its own variation: the same pattern, never quite the same result.
The mauve here has that particular quality of natural dye: warm, a little dusty, quietly beautiful — alive in a way that synthetic color isn't. The cotton is breathable and softens with every wash, draping loosely over the body in a relaxed silhouette suited to any hour. One size fits most up to US XL.

Clean and grounded, the Lyla in natural tan with hand-dyed stripes is a study in restraint. Plant-derived pigments are applied by hand in a striped pattern across breathable cotton — up close you can see the soft variation that only comes from handwork, each stripe carrying its own subtle warmth. The result is something that feels both deliberate and organic.
The cotton is breathable and softens with every wash, draping loosely over the body in a relaxed silhouette suited to any hour. One size fits most up to US XL.

The Lyla in blueberry and cream carries the quiet drama of a natural dye well done. Deep blue drawn from plant pigments sits against cream in an abstract pattern painted by hand onto breathable cotton — where the two tones meet and bleed is where the beauty lives. Because the work is done entirely by hand, each piece carries its own variation: the same pattern, never quite the same result.

Style as a statement beach cover-up, toss on with slides for the market, or dress it up with strappy sandals and earrings for evening. The relaxed silhouette keeps things breathable and unfussy, letting the print do the talking. Available in 51 inch length.

Black in a kaftan does something specific — it takes a completely relaxed silhouette and makes it feel put-together. The Daria in Black is the piece you reach for when you want to look like you made an effort without actually making one.
The Daria in Black is cut from double gauze cotton — two layers of soft cotton woven together for a fabric that's breathable and holds its structure without being sheer. V-neckline, side slits, a silhouette that falls loose and away from the body. At 53 inches it falls at the ankle or just above depending on height.
One size fits most up to US 3XL. No pockets, slipover style. First wash separately; gentle machine wash, hang dry preferred.

NextCotton Kaftan FAQs
FABRIC & FEEL
It depends on the fabric! Most of our kaftans are fully opaque. The ones made in cotton gauze (the Olena, Flora, Evelyn kaftans) are lightweight and semi-sheer – we recommend wearing them over a swimsuit or slip. If you're unsure, check the fabric label in the product details or reach out and we'll advise.
Our Cotton Kaftan Collection uses five fabric types across the range: Double Gauze (ultra-soft, two-layer weave), Cotton Gauze (light, semi-sheer, perfect for beach), Jersey Cotton (stretchy, wrinkle-resistant), Woven Cotton (structured, holds its shape), and French Terry (soft loopback interior – our coziest option). Each product listing names the fabric so you can choose what suits you best.
Never. All our kaftans are 100% natural cotton and get softer with every wash. If anything, you'll love them more in six months than the day they arrive.
Absolutely – that's exactly what they're designed for. Cotton breathes naturally, packs light, and doesn't wrinkle badly in a suitcase. The gauze and double gauze styles are especially popular for beach holidays and tropical climates.
FIT & SIZING
Our kaftans are one size fits most - up to 4XL with the standard width being 34" (68" around). That being said, we do offer a petite collection with slimmer silhouettes and provide custom hemming if the length you want isn't available.
These kaftans are universally flattering on every body and are designed to fit sizes S-4X. Take a look through our reviews and you'll see women of all shapes and sizes feeling confident.
We offer knee-length, midi, and maxi lengths depending on the style. Some of our more popular Mala Kaftans come in multiple lengths from petite to tall. Check out our Size Guide to find the right length for you. We also offer custom hemming.
CARE
Wash for the first time separately and in cold water to prevent color transfer.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, then hang to dry or tumble dry low. Avoid the dryer if possible — air drying keeps the cotton soft and the colours bright. For cotton gauze styles, a cold gentle wash is especially important to maintain the delicate weave.
Our kaftans are dyed or printed to last. Wash in cold water and avoid harsh detergents to keep colours vibrant wash after wash. If you have a printed style, turning it inside-out before washing helps preserve the print longer.
