Hand-Tea-Dyed Silk Caftan Dress
Made to fit you.
Leave your sizing notes at checkout — we’ll refine your order before it ships.
A caftan shaped by nature, made for legacy. Cut from 100% pure mulberry silk and hand-dyed using an artisanal tea and plant-rubbing technique, each piece carries the gentle irregularity of something truly handmade.
The softened V neckline and fluid silhouette evoke quiet grace, while the botanical dye process yields earthy, luminous variations—no two exactly alike. This is wearable heritage: slow, soulful, and grounded in the artistry of time-honored techniques.
Crafted for those who seek elegance that tells a story, this dress moves with you—across landscapes, seasons, and memories.
