Collection
Beach Wear
Shivalaya Jaipur's Beach Wear collection centres on hand block-printed cotton kaftans made in Jaipur, India. Loose, breathable and easy to pull on over swimwear, these kaftans are cut from 100% cotton and printed by hand using carved wooden blocks — so no two pieces carry exactly the same print rhythm. Expect relaxed silhouettes in indigo blue, soft pink, and an ivory white palm tree print with a pink border, in sizes from 36 through 48 inches.
The collection leans into a slow, handmade approach: block-printed cotton that breathes in hot weather, drapes gently over the body, and packs down easily for travel. Subtle variation in print placement and tone is part of the craft, not a flaw. Kaftans work as poolside cover-ups, resort dressing, or lightweight loungewear at home.
Made for holidaymakers, gift buyers, and anyone drawn to boho and cottagecore layers with a handmade origin. If you'd like to explore beyond the beach, browse our Western Wear for block-print dresses and kimonos, or our Night Wear for equally breathable cotton pieces.

Frequently asked questions
- Every kaftan in this collection is 100% cotton and hand block-printed in Jaipur, India. Cotton is lightweight and breathable, which is why it works well as a beach cover-up or hot-weather layer. Each piece is printed by hand using carved wooden blocks.
- The kaftans are offered in bust sizes 36, 44 and 48 inches across the indigo blue and pink colourways, giving a relaxed fit through the standard and plus-size range. The loose kaftan cut is forgiving and drapes over the body rather than fitting close. Check the individual product page for the exact size options available in each print.
- As a general rule for hand block-printed cotton, cold hand-wash separately for the first few washes, avoid harsh detergents and bleach, and dry in the shade to preserve the print. Iron on the reverse if needed. Small variations in print and tone are a natural feature of the block-printing process, not defects.
- They are versatile: styled as beach and pool cover-ups, worn as resort dresses over shorts or a swimsuit, or used as easy loungewear at home. The soft cotton and loose cut make them comfortable in warm weather. If you prefer something cut specifically for sleep, take a look at our <a href="/women/night-wear">Night Wear</a> collection.
