Caftan Summer was born in the extraordinary year 2020, when routines and plans were upended and improvisation became the norm. That time of dislocation and uncertainty was also, for founder Elizabeth Dye, a time of exploration, reinvention, and creativity.

A bridal gown designer for 20 years, Dye discovered that what she craved from her creative practice — comfort, color and joy — came together perfectly in that most versatile of garments: the caftan.

What began as a design experiment has become a new ritual: CAFTAN SUMMER. Focused on breezy elegance and the sensory pleasure of wearing beautiful, natural fabrics, Caftan Summer redefines vacation dressing.

And there’s no need to wait for hot weather or a holiday — just put on your caftan and believe.
