Mokalia Kaftan, Straight-Cut Kaftan
A sleek straight-cut kaftan defined by its bateau neckline
The Mokalia straight-cut kaftan almost looks like two pieces, such is the striking contrast between the materials: an ecru printed velvet top covered in floral patterns fading from brown to mauve, set over a chocolate-brown silk satin skirt that catches the light with every movement. That is the appeal of this straight-cut kaftan—playing with two textures and two color intensities without ever breaking the unity of the silhouette.
The bateau neckline, edged with a fine brown band matching the color of the skirt, reveals the shoulders with understated elegance, while the long velvet sleeves, scattered with denser printed flowers on the forearms, add dimension without looking excessive. The brown silk satin skirt falls straight to the floor in a fitted, fluid cut, slit at the front for ease of movement and to subtly reveal the leg with every step—a slit edged with tone-on-tone stitching that highlights its precision. A matching high-waisted belt defines the waist above the skirt. This straight-cut kaftan naturally belongs at a gala dinner, a refined engagement party, or any reception where you want a look that is understated yet memorable.
To preserve the drape of the silk satin and the vibrancy of the printed velvet, dry cleaning only is recommended, and direct ironing on the printed areas should be avoided.
In summary:
- Ecru and brown printed velvet top with bateau neckline
- Brown silk satin skirt with a straight, slit cut
- Matching high-waisted belt
- Ideal for gala dinners, formal evenings, and engagements
