The Kaftan is genderless, multicultural, relaxed, and comfortable.
- A non-western item that has the potential to become a staple in the western market.
- An item that will be influenced by western design, even in non-western markets.
In western cultures, the Kaftan will change from a comfortable home & holiday outfit, into an accepted urban outfit.
Once accepted, it will develop further into an elegant item (silk) that can be worn as day and evening wear.
The rise of the Kaftan is triggered by:
- Corona lockdowns that stimulated comfortable, loose-fit clothing.
- Black Lives Matter that inspired the use of items from a non-western culture.
- Non-western economies are rising steadily. These cultures are embracing western labels, and the western labels are embracing these cultures in return.
- The rise of Plus-Size / XXL
The development towards the Kaftan is nothing new.

Logo-Mania, East meets West
Logo-based Designs are a great option to open up new high-end markets.
We’ve seen logo-based design done so many times to western markets and western clothing that it almost becomes dull. Once logo-based designs push through new cultural boundaries, they start to become interesting again.
Not only does it open new markets in different cultures, it can be a strong addition to the western collections. It’s an opportunity to place a well-known logo from one context, into a different context.
Inspired by the summer monogram collaboration between Burberry and Casa Jondal Beach Club in Ibiza.
The Kaftan is comfy and free-spirited, the perfect clothing for a corona or post-corona consumer. With many variations for both men and women the Kaftan fits perfectly to our new lifestyles.
