Saiid Kobeisy kaftans: the embroidered crepe kaftans with capes

Posted by author-avatar

The Saiid Kobeisy kaftan is an evening dress in a kaftan’s shape: a fitted line through the body, sleeves, a floor-length skirt, embroidery placed at the neck and the waist, and on the 2025 versions a crepe georgette cape falling from the shoulders. It is the piece the house makes for the long evenings of Ramadan, for Eid and for a summer wedding in the Gulf, and it is the one piece in the range that looks better with a flat sandal than a heel. Coveti has 11 kaftans on 20 September 2026, from $2,010 to $4,846, and this page lists 7.

“Saiid Kobeisy’s ethereal creations travel to more than 35 countries and are displayed in over 130 points of sale,” the house writes against 2017 on its timeline, and against 2019: “Saiid Kobeisy expands their online presence by joining Farfetch.”

How the kaftan wears

Because it is fitted through the body and sleeved, the house kaftan sits for a three-hour dinner and stands for a receiving line without adjustment, and the cape covers the back for a mosque and a family gathering. It is a covered dress that reads as evening, which is the whole brief of the month it is made for. The Eid and Ramadan page places it in the calendar and the long-sleeve page lists the other covered pieces.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Saiid Kobeisy kaftan?

A floor-length, sleeved, embroidered crepe evening dress cut with a fitted line and, on the 2025 versions, a cape from the shoulders.

Is the Saiid Kobeisy kaftan loose?

No. It is fitted through the body and carries its ease in the skirt, which is what makes it an evening dress rather than a house kaftan.

What do you wear with a kaftan?

A flat metallic sandal, hair down, and little jewellery; the embroidery at the neck does the work.

Can I wear a kaftan to a wedding?

To a summer wedding in the Gulf, yes; it is worn to exactly that. Choose the Ivory and Heavenly Pink for daylight, the Italian Plum and Jet Black for evening.

Does the house sell a Ramadan collection?

Yes, a capsule on its own site. The eveningwear kaftans at Coveti are the permanent version.

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.
