Saiid Kobeisy for Eid and Ramadan: kaftans, long sleeves and capes

Posted by author-avatar

Saiid Kobeisy sells a Ramadan capsule on its own site, and the reason is in the calendar: the iftars, the suhoors and the Eid gatherings of Beirut, Dubai and Riyadh are dressed evenings, long, covered, embroidered, and the kaftan is the piece the house makes for them. The ready-to-wear at Coveti carries the eveningwear version: floor-length embroidered kaftans cut with a cape from the shoulders, long-sleeved and high-necked gowns, and capes that cover without a jacket. This page picks 7 for the month and for the Eid days after it, in stock at Coveti on 20 September 2026.

“Weaving in inspiration from faraway cultures, the house’s works are a striking mélange of opposites, where the modern meets the classic, the sensual softens the bold, and the unexpected twist makes a lasting impression,” the house writes on saiidkobeisy.com.

Key facts

  • The kaftan: floor length, sleeved, embroidered crepe, cut with a cape from the shoulders on the 2025 versions, in Italian Plum, Ivory, Jet Black, Marlin, Bleached Aqua and Heavenly Pink
  • For iftar: the kaftan and the long-sleeved gowns, which cover the arm and sit for a long dinner
  • For Eid: the cape gowns and the embroidered long dresses in the season’s deep shades
  • The capsule on the house site changes with the year; the eveningwear kaftans at Coveti are the permanent version
  • Every piece in EU 34 to 48, shown on the UK ladder; the kaftans carry their ease in the skirt and take a flat sandal

The kaftans

The house kaftan is an evening dress that happens to be cut like a kaftan: a fitted line through the body, sleeves, a floor-length skirt and, on the 2025 versions, a crepe georgette cape from the shoulders, with the embroidery placed at the neck and the waist. It is the piece for an iftar that becomes a party, and it wants a flat metallic sandal and hair down.

Long sleeves and high necks for iftar and suhoor

The long-sleeved and high-necked gowns cover the arm and the collarbone and still read as evening, because the sleeves are cut in the dress fabric with the embroidery carried onto them. Choose crepe and velvet for a seated dinner, tulle and lace for a later evening.

Capes for Eid

Eid is the dressed day, and the cape gown is the house’s Eid dress: floor length, covered from behind and from the side, embroidered where it will be seen across a room. It replaces the wrap, so the arms and shoulders are covered without a jacket, and it photographs from every angle the day is photographed from.

6. Embroidered Long Dress in Italian Plum, Style 59, $4,180

An Italian Plum long dress in tulle and taffeta, with sequin, cut with movement. Fall Winter 2025, EU 34 to 48 at source, shown on the UK ladder at Coveti.

A Reed long dress in crepe, with embroidery, cut close to the body. Spring Summer 2026, EU 34 to 48 at source, shown on the UK ladder at Coveti.

Coverage, fit and the flat sandal

The kaftans and the caped gowns are cut with movement and carry their room in the skirt; take the usual EU size. A sheer sleeve on a tulle and lace piece sits over a lined body, and the product page says where a piece is sheer. For a long dinner the flat sandal is correct with a kaftan and a low block heel with a gown. The long-sleeve and modest page lists every covered piece in the range and the kaftans page goes through each kaftan.

Sources and method

Checked on 20 September 2026 by Gemma Deeks, fashion editor at Coveti. Product facts, the fabrics, the embroidery, the colourways and the size run, are the brand’s own product-page text; counts, prices and price ranges are Coveti’s live catalogue on that date and move with stock; the history of the house, the showrooms and the wearers come from the brand’s own pages and the press articles listed below, each read on the date above. Where a claim could not be checked against one of these it was left out, and where the fitting room is giving its own advice the page says so.
