There's something about slipping into a kaftan that instantly transforms your mood. The generous, flowing silhouette wraps you in comfort while making you feel effortlessly elegant—like a wise, well-traveled auntie who knows exactly how life should be lived. Whether you're settling into a poolside lounge with a novel, claiming your favorite corner of the couch for an afternoon of knitting, or simply moving through your day, a kaftan gives you that perfect combination of ease and presence. It's voluminous without being fussy, regal without being pretentious—just pure, unapologetic comfort that happens to make you feel beautiful.
This kaftan features my Lovely Ones design, which was born from my inspiration trip to Rome & Florence this past winter. While walking around the galleries and museums and soaking in works of art by the likes of Da Vinci, Botticelli, and Carravaggio, I remained in awe but something was missing. I decided to create my own gallery of Black women in fabric.
With a rich, earthy-red color and mud clothseque motifs in the ground, Black women in silhouette and marvelous hairstyles are framed by the very same ornate picture frames I saw in the Uffizi and Galleria Borghese — surrounded by bright bursts of color and adorned with jewelry, some featuring remixed Adinkra symbols for wisdom, abundance, and courage — my wish for my sisters across the diaspora.
Each kaftan is crafted from 100% cotton that's as practical as it is luxurious. Toss it in the washing machine without a second thought—these pieces are made for real life. The vibrant colors come from digital printing with reactive inks, which means the rich hues you fall in love with today will stay just as bold through countless washes and wears.
This is a Preorder — Made Just for You!
I’ve teamed up with a small-batch manufacturer to create limited-edition shirts, sweatshirts, and tote bags featuring my original designs.
When you place your order during this special preorder window, I’ll gather all orders and have them produced in one big batch. Why? Because I want to include my signature handmade touch — a fabric collage and handwritten note — with every package. That means everything ships from me, not the factory.
Preorders are open until October 22nd, and items will ship out from Brooklyn 4–6 weeks later — likely in early December. As soon as they arrive from the manufacturer, I’ll ship them to you right away. You’ll get a tracking number the moment your order hits the mail.
These pieces are made just for you and won’t be available again this season — don’t miss out!
I'm wearing size Large. Read the size chart carefully. There are no refunds or returns for pre-order apparel items.
