Perfect for a beach cover-up, this drawstring caftan comes from the mother and daughter team Indu and Chitra. Antique white cotton boasts cardinal red and rose stripes on the sleeves that extend along the sides, with an unfinished edge that adds to its casual style. Featuring a boat neckline, the tunic is handwoven in the thorthu style, a traditional weave from the city of Kerala.

Isha Jain selects fiery ruby red for the design of this elegant tunic in dupioni silk. Originating in India, dupioni silk is of middle weight and features slubs that are a natural result of cocoons being spun together. Jain's design features lurex piping on the v-neck and cuffs of the ¾ length sleeves. The tunic is embellished with discreet patterns embroidered with golden sequins and glass beads.

This stunning poppy-red tunic is the creation of Isha Jain in India. Crafted of a cotton/silk blend, the neckline and cuffs of the tunic feature gold and silver gota embroidery, an applique-like technique that originated in Rajasthan and is traditionally used on wedding and formal garments. Gold zari embroidery, sequins and sparkling faux stones add extra glamour. The semi-sheer tunic features three-quarter length sleeves and a cotton-lined bodice.
