Kaftan Pakistan 2026: 93 Kaftans Priced, and Why None of the New Ones Is on Sale
Guests for a whole week means one thing. Your phuppo is coming for a week, the house will be full, and you want one thing that looks put together but feels like pajamas. A kaftan. Easy, right? Then every brand shows you two pieces, three sold out signs and prices all over the place, and twenty minutes later you still have no clue what a kaftan should cost.
Toh I did the boring part for you. On 9 and 10 October 2026 I read the full online catalogues of 24 Pakistani stores and pulled out every women’s kaftan you can still order: 93 kaftans at eight brands. This is the honest kaftan Pakistan guide: prices, real sales, sizes left, and a surprise about free size.
Kaftan Pakistan: Who Actually Sells Them
First shock: kaftans are rare. Of 32,332 women’s clothes you could order, only 93 were kaftans. That is one kaftan in every 348 pieces. Fourteen stores, Beechtree and Zellbury among them, listed none.
One brand owns the shelf: Ethnic had 51 of the 93, more than everyone else combined.
| Brand | Still orderable | Typical price | Range | On sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethnic | 51 | Rs 7,990 | Rs 3,490 to 34,990 | 19 (37%) |
| Limelight small sample | 14 | Rs 4,249 | Rs 1,999 to 11,990 | 7 (50%) |
| Zeen small sample | 8 | Rs 7,990 | Rs 5,490 to 12,990 | 0 |
| Alkaram Studio small sample | 8 | Rs 6,290 | Rs 6,290 to 7,890 | 0 |
| Generation small sample | 5 | not published | not published | not priced |
| Nishat Linen small sample | 4 | Rs 12,990 | Rs 10,990 to 17,990 | 0 |
| Gul Ahmed small sample | 2 | Rs 5,994 | Rs 5,994 | 2 (100%) |
| Sana Safinaz small sample | 1 | Rs 4,350 | Rs 4,350 | 1 (100%) |
Women’s kaftans you could still order online, read on 9 and 10 October 2026. Typical price is the median price paid today. Every brand except Ethnic has fewer than 20, so treat those rows as a peek, not a ranking.
Across the 88 kaftans with a rupee price, the typical kaftan Pakistan price was Rs 7,890, and half sat between Rs 5,490 and Rs 10,990. Without Ethnic the typical price drops to Rs 6,290, so Ethnic is not the cheap option, bas the biggest one.
The kaftan Pakistan shelf also empties fast. 24 more kaftans were listed but no longer orderable, including 10 of Generation’s 15 and 9 of Sana Safinaz’s 10. See one you love there? Yaar, do not wait.
Chalo, quick hisaab
Biggest choice: Ethnic. Cheapest single piece: Limelight. Fabric you can give your darzi: Alkaram Studio or Gul Ahmed. A properly dressy winter kaftan: Zeen or Nishat Linen, at full price.
Kaftan Price in Pakistan: Bands for Every Budget

Price paid today, sale price where there is one. 88 priced kaftans, read on 9 and 10 October 2026. Generation’s five are not priced.
The sweet spot is Rs 5,000 to Rs 7,999, with four in ten kaftans. The cheapest at every brand:
| Brand | Cheapest kaftan | Price | On sale? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Limelight | Grip kaftan, medium only | Rs 1,999 | full price |
| Ethnic | Printed kaftan, XS to M | Rs 3,490 | 50% off |

| Alkaram Studio | Ready to stitch silk kaftan | Rs 6,290 | full price |
| Nishat Linen | Embroidered kaftan | Rs 10,990 | full price |
Cheapest kaftan still orderable at each brand, read on 9 and 10 October 2026. Generation publishes no rupee prices.
The dearest was an embroidered Ethnic Boutique kaftan at Rs 34,990. For budgets across all clothes, see the best brand for every budget and our cheapest clothing brands list.
Kaftan Pakistan Sale: What Is Really Discounted
On the day, 29 of the 88 priced kaftans were on sale, 33 percent, at a typical cut of 50 percent and a typical sale price of Rs 4,500, against Rs 7,990 for a typical full price piece. Ethnic had 19 of them, Limelight 7, Gul Ahmed 2 and Sana Safinaz 1. Zeen, Nishat Linen and Alkaram Studio had none.
Then I checked when each kaftan Pakistan brands are discounting was first added to the catalogue.
Share of kaftans on sale, by when they were added
88 priced kaftans, read on 9 and 10 October 2026
Every discounted kaftan was first added to its catalogue on or before 20 May 2026. Not one kaftan added since 1 July 2026 was cut.
The sale rack is the spring and summer stock. All 29 discounted kaftans were first added by 20 May 2026. The 48 added since 1 July, mostly Ethnic’s new pieces, Alkaram Studio’s silk drop and Zeen’s winter line, were all full price, at a typical Rs 9,944. So a new kaftan costs about double the typical sale piece.
Is the old stuff bad? Bilkul nahi. A March kaftan is just as comfy in a warm Karachi October; it is simply last season’s design, often in one size. Our fake sale guide shows how to read a was price, and our 11.11 sale guide covers what usually happens next month.
Ruko, one weird price
One Limelight grip kaftan showed a “was” price of Rs 381,161 on a Rs 1,999 piece. That is a website error, not a 99 percent sale, so we counted it as full price. If a was price looks crazy, it probably is.
Kaftan Pakistan Picks: Everyday or Dressy
Here is the thing nobody tells you: on the kaftan Pakistan shelf, the kaftan is mostly an everyday piece. Only 12 of the 93 carried a dressy word from the brand itself. Small sample, so read it as a pattern:
| Type | Kaftans | Typical price | On sale | Who sells them |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Everyday | 81 | Rs 7,490 | 36% | All eight brands |
| Dressy small sample | 12 | Rs 10,990 | 17% | Zeen (5), Limelight (4), Ethnic (3) |
Dressy means the brand’s own name, type or tags say luxe, luxury, festive, formal, boutique, embellished, velvet or chiffon. Read on 9 and 10 October 2026.
Ethnic splits its kaftans into named lines. Rozana, which literally means everyday, had 19 at a typical Rs 8,490, and 11 of them were on sale. Casual had 16 at Rs 7,990, mostly new and full price. Special Price had 13 at Rs 6,990. And Boutique had just 3, at Rs 14,990 to Rs 34,990: the only properly formal kaftans in the whole count.
Want a kaftan for a dholki or a winter dinner? Zeen’s winter line has velvet kaftans at Rs 9,990 to Rs 12,990, and Nishat Linen’s four embroidered kaftans run Rs 10,990 to Rs 17,990. Add a light dupatta over one shoulder and done. Our party wear guide and formal wear guide cover the rest, and the mehndi dress guide names the kaftan as the easiest thing to wear to one.
One luxury shelf we did not count. Sana Safinaz files 21 more in stock pieces under a “Kaftans” heading, but their names do not say kaftan. 17 are code named luxury pret at Rs 39,799 to Rs 195,000, typical Rs 65,000. Bridal budget? Look there. Everyone else, sirf the 93 above matter.
Kaftan Pakistan Fabric and Work
Fabric is the frustrating part: 56 of the 93 kaftans name no fabric, including all 51 at Ethnic. Read the description. Among those that do say:
| Fabric named | Kaftans | Typical price | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silk (incl. chamois, crepe and cotton silk) | 16 | Rs 6,290 | Limelight (7), Alkaram Studio (7), Gul Ahmed (2) |
| Cambric | 6 | Rs 5,490 | Zeen (4), Generation (2) |
| Velvet | 5 | Rs 11,990 | Zeen (4), Limelight (1) |
| Grip | 3 | Rs 4,499 | Limelight |
| Lawn, chiffon, viscose slub, khaddar | 1 each | Rs 2,100 to 6,490 | Limelight, Alkaram Studio |
Fabric read from the name, type, tags and the fabric option. Every row is a small sample. Read on 9 and 10 October 2026.
Silk is the kaftan Pakistan favourite: it drapes and flows. We counted whatever the brand called silk; our silk dress guide goes deeper on that. Velvet is the winter option, and none of it was on sale.
Got a good darzi? Alkaram Studio’s 7 silk kaftans are ready to stitch, in chamois silk or crepe silk, at Rs 6,290 to Rs 7,890, and Gul Ahmed’s two cotton silk kaftans are unstitched fabric at Rs 5,994, down from Rs 9,990. Your measurements, your sleeve length. Our unstitched vs stitched guide does that hisaab properly.
Embroidered kaftans (31) cost a typical Rs 11,490 and printed ones (32) Rs 7,990, so embroidery adds about Rs 3,500. Colour wise, black led on 16 pieces, then shades of blue, beige and lemon.
Kaftan Pakistan Sizes: The Free Size Myth
Everybody thinks kaftans come in one free size. Haan, I did too. Not one of the 93 kaftans we could order offered a free size. Stitched ones came in normal sizes; the 9 unstitched or ready to stitch pieces had no size. For the 84 sized kaftans:
| Size | Still orderable on | Kaftans |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 81.0% | 68 |
| S | 77.4% | 65 |
| M | 72.6% | 61 |
| L | 59.5% | 50 |
| XL | 4.8% | 4 |
| XXL | 0% | 0 |
Share of the 84 sized kaftans where each size could still be ordered, read on 9 and 10 October 2026. Feeds list only orderable sizes.
XL is almost gone, and XXL does not exist. Only four kaftans could be ordered in XL: two at Zeen, one at Nishat Linen and one at Generation. Ethnic, with 51 kaftans, had nothing orderable above L. Bohat odd for a garment meant to be roomy. Kaftans are cut loose, so check the chest measurement, not the letter.
The sale rack is where sizes break. 14 of the 27 discounted kaftans sold in sizes were down to one size, against only 4 of 52 at full price. Limelight was the extreme, with 6 of its 14 kaftans in a single size, mostly medium. If you are XS, though, you are lucky: XS was the size most often still orderable.
Ruko, size chart pehle
Measure a loose kurti you love, flat on the bed, and compare with the brand’s chart. Zeen writes sizes as S (10), M (12) and so on, Generation uses 8 to 16, and Nishat Linen sells some kaftans as XS/S and M/L pairs.
How to Shop a Kaftan in Pakistan
- Start at Ethnic. It has more than half of every kaftan on sale online, from Rs 3,490 on sale to Rs 34,990 Boutique.
- For the cheapest piece, check Limelight: grip, lawn and silk kaftans from Rs 1,999, but often one size only.
- For winter and dressy, look at Zeen‘s velvet and Nishat Linen‘s embroidered kaftans, at full price.
- For a custom fit, buy kaftan fabric from Alkaram Studio or Gul Ahmed and give it to your darzi.
- On sale, buy fast. About half the discounted kaftans were down to their last size, so if yours is there, abhi le lo.
A kaftan over a straight trouser works beautifully; our trouser guide has the prices. For more loose and easy pieces, see our kurti guide and co-ord sets guide.
Returns on Sale Kaftans
Ethnic, with 19 of the 29 discounted kaftans, says: “Sale items are not eligible for exchange or refund. Only size exchange is allowed.” Limelight, Zeen, Nishat Linen, Alkaram Studio and Sana Safinaz do not take back sale items. Gul Ahmed is the friendly one: 30 day exchange, sale items not excluded. For any kaftan Pakistan sale buy, get the size right first time.

Every entry read directly from the brand’s own published returns or exchange policy on 20 August 2026, and re-read for 15 of the brands on 27 August 2026. Where a policy does not mention sale items at all, the table says so rather than assuming they are covered. Policies change, so check the brand site before you pay.
Is that kaftan sale real?
Some banners promise far more than most items get. We measured the gap at every brand.

How much does a kaftan cost in Pakistan?
On 9 and 10 October 2026 the typical kaftan cost Rs 7,890, across 88 priced kaftans at seven brands. Half cost between Rs 5,490 and Rs 10,990. The cheapest was a Limelight grip kaftan at Rs 1,999 and the dearest an Ethnic Boutique kaftan at Rs 34,990.
Which brand has the most kaftans?
Ethnic, by a long way. It had 51 of the 93 kaftans that could still be ordered, at a typical Rs 7,990. Limelight had 14, Zeen and Alkaram Studio 8 each, Generation 5, Nishat Linen 4, Gul Ahmed 2 and Sana Safinaz 1.
Are kaftans on sale right now?
About one in three. 29 of the 88 priced kaftans were discounted, at a typical cut of 50 percent and a typical sale price of Rs 4,500. All 29 were first added to the catalogues by 20 May 2026. None of the 48 kaftans added since 1 July 2026 was on sale.
What is the cheapest kaftan in Pakistan?
A Limelight grip kaftan at Rs 1,999, full price, in medium only. Next came Limelight’s lawn kaftan at Rs 2,100 on sale and Ethnic’s printed kaftans at Rs 3,490 on sale. 18 kaftans cost under Rs 5,000.
Are kaftans free size in Pakistan?
Not at these brands. Not one of the 93 kaftans we could order offered a free size option. They were sold in normal sizes, mostly XS to L. XS could be ordered on 81 percent of sized kaftans and XL on under 5 percent.
Where can I buy a kaftan in XL or bigger?
It is hard. Only 4 of 84 sized kaftans could be ordered in XL: two at Zeen, one at Nishat Linen and one at Generation. None could be ordered in XXL. Since kaftans are cut loose, compare a brand’s chest measurement for L before you give up.
Which fabric are Pakistani kaftans made in?
Silk led among kaftans that name a fabric, with 16 pieces at Limelight, Alkaram Studio and Gul Ahmed, at a typical Rs 6,290. Zeen’s winter kaftans are velvet, at Rs 9,990 to Rs 12,990. But 56 of the 93 kaftans, including all of Ethnic’s, name no fabric.
Can I return a kaftan bought on sale?
Usually not. Ethnic allows only a size exchange on sale pieces. Limelight, Zeen, Nishat Linen, Alkaram Studio and Sana Safinaz do not exchange sale items. Gul Ahmed’s 30 day exchange does not exclude sale items. Check the brand’s page before you pay.

The Bottom Line on Kaftan Pakistan Shopping
The kaftan Pakistan market on 9 and 10 October 2026 in one line: 93 kaftans you can order, more than half of them at Ethnic, at a typical Rs 7,890. A third are on sale at a typical Rs 4,500, but every one of those is spring or summer stock, while all 48 kaftans added since July are full price at a typical Rs 9,944.
So dono options are fair. Cheap and comfy for the phuppo week? Ethnic’s or Limelight’s sale rack. Something new for sardi? Zeen’s velvet or Nishat Linen’s embroidery, at full price. And forget free size: XL is almost gone.
How we checked: We read the complete online catalogues of 24 stores on 9 and 10 October 2026: Agha Noor, Asim Jofa, Baroque, Beechtree, Charizma, Cross Stitch, Elan, Generation, Gulaal, Limelight, Maria B, Nishat Linen, Sana Safinaz, Saya, Zeen and Zellbury (10 October), and the women’s lines of Gul Ahmed, J. Junaid Jamshed, Alkaram Studio, Almirah, Bonanza Satrangi, Edenrobe, Ethnic and Outfitters (9 October). That is 153,266 products, of which 32,332 were women’s clothes you could still order. A kaftan is a product whose name or product type says kaftan or caftan; a tag alone does not count. Men’s and children’s pieces are dropped, leaving 117 kaftans listed and 93 still orderable. Typical price is the median price you pay today. On sale means a higher was price is shown, ignoring one Limelight feed error. Generation publishes no rupee prices, so its five kaftans are counted but not priced. Groups under 20 are small samples. Khaadi and Sapphire publish no readable feed and are not included. Check the product page before you pay. “Added” means the date the kaftan was first created in the brand’s catalogue. Sana Safinaz’s code named pieces filed under its “Kaftans” heading are reported separately and are not in any count above.
