the kaftan
The kaftan is a signature silhouette in Asantii’s debut collection, entitled Zaliwa (Swahili for ‘birth’). This versatile and voluminous garment has roots across Africa from the North African djellaba to the West Africa boubou and has inspired generations of international designers. Our fresh take is trans-seasonal and go-anywhere thanks to its flattering proportions that can be dressed up or down and layered with other easy pieces in the collection.
