Kaftan One is mostly one-of-a-kind, artisanal, hand-produced fabrics turned into comfortable, elegant Kaftans to fit all sizes, personalities and usage. Our Kaftans are individually cut and sewn by seamstresses in their local communities. The fabrics are sourced from different countries and they are mostly hand-woven, hand-printed and naturally dyed. They are created individually by artisans from top-grade cotton, silk, linen, viscose and other blends.- Nikki Coseteng ( interview by Radar-list.com)
Bringing indigenous Philippine textiles into the limelight, Kaftan One by Nikki Coseteng weaves a narrative through meticulously crafted garments fashioned from handmade and naturally-dyed fabrics sourced directly from the regions of Cordillera, Ilocos, Abra, the Yakans of Basilan, and the Taosugs of Sulu.
