The Kohinoor Maxi

The Narrative The definitive masterpiece of the Kahanii archive. The Kohinoor Maxi is a study in cinematic monumentalism and liquid drama, inspired by the grandest archival moments of South Asian heritage. Crafted from nearly five meters of 100% silk crepe de chine, this silhouette is an exercise in absolute elegance. A soft V-neckline and delicate spaghetti straps offer a sense of ethereal lightness, while the back descends into a structured mini-train—a deliberate, trailing hem that anchors the garment with an iconic, floor-sweeping presence. Paired with a 100% silk chiffon scarf to go with the dress.

The Craft

• Material: 100% Silk Crepe de Chine—selected for its superior matte luster and architectural drape.

• The Lining: Fully silk-lined in 100% tonal silk, providing an opaque, substantial weight that feels like a second skin.

• The Silhouette: A 6-meter construction featuring a signature back train designed to follow the wearer’s movement with a heavy, purposeful fluidity.

• The Details: Intricately hand-finished ruffles that trace the garment’s edges, adding a layer of textured romanticism to the sharp silk profile.

• The Accoutrement: Accompanied by a signature 100% silk chiffon scarf, acting as a cinematic extension of the gown’s motion.

• Origin: Meticulously tailored in strictly limited quantities in Canada.

The Form The Kohinoor is designed for the woman who commands the room through silence. The sheer volume of silk allows for a weighted, liquid-like fluidity that gathers at the feet and trails behind in a formal train. It is the ultimate modern heirloom—a piece designed to be the centrepiece of a lineage.
