The Folktale Kaftan celebrates traditional Indian embroidery and the art of storytelling through textiles.

Crafted from handwoven Kala Cotton in indigo, this kaftan features intricate hand-embroidered village life motifs using traditional Sujani Kantha stitches. Originating in Bihar, India, Sujani Kantha is a distinctive embroidery tradition known for its narrative designs, depicting scenes of rural life, nature, flora and fauna.

The embroidery is crafted by an all-women organisation in Patna, while the pattern development, stitching and finishing take place in the brand's workshop in Delhi.

The Kala Cotton is indigenous to Kutch, Gujarat. Naturally rain-fed and grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilisers, this traditional cotton celebrates the heritage of Indian handwoven textiles.

A distinctive piece bringing together traditional embroidery, artisanal craftsmanship and the stories of rural India.
