Olena Cotton Kaftan in Purple & Tan Tie Dye

Purple and tan is a desert palette — the cool violet against the warm sand-color, neither one overpowering. On a tie-dyed cotton the two don't fight; they pool and lighten where they meet. It's the shortest length in the range, which makes it more of a beach throw-on than a full-length cover.

The Olena in Purple & Tan is cut from semi-sheer cotton gauze — a single light layer that lets air move through and dries quickly, which is what makes it work as a beach cover-up, a hot-weather throw-on, or a layer over a slip at home. V-neckline, side slits, and a silhouette that falls loose and away from the body. At 50 inches it falls at mid-calf depending on height.

One size fits most up to US 3XL. No pockets, slipover style. First wash separately; gentle machine wash, hang dry preferred.
