Why we're obsessed with the
kaftan
The first kaftan dates back to ancient Mesopotamia, where people kept cool in the loose, breezy style while they busied themselves with inventing the wheel. Desert-dwellers (including Lawrence of Arabia) wore them throughout the ages for that reason. In the 1960s, the billowy silhouette hit the Pucci and Halston runways. Pucci updated the kaftan with energized, psychedelic prints, while Halston infused it with a slinky, urbane minimalism.
Today, the kaftan is a travel staple and a uniform of the international beach set, superyacht society and anyone, anywhere who understands the meaning of offhand chic. It takes up minimal suitcase space and is equally stylish at the pool, the beach, at cocktails or sightseeing. Each irresistible Figue print, each crisp, floaty fabric, each audacious bead and fluffy tassel is carefully considered for maximum joy. We know you’ll wear Figue again and again (and again), as your most inspiring, multitalented companion.
