Meet Carolyn: The Woman Behind Our Newest Kaftan

Some pieces in our collection are inspired by places. Some are inspired by seasons. And then there are the truly special ones — the pieces inspired by women we adore.

Our newest release, the Carolyn Kaftan, is one of those pieces. Designed as a soft, effortless summer kaftan for travel, long lunches and European summer days, it carries the name of a woman who has been part of our Martha’s Vineyard family from the very beginning.

Who Is Carolyn? A Friend, a Muse, and a Martha’s Woman

If you’ve ever visited our boutique or followed our journey, you’ve likely seen Carolyn — warm, elegant, and always wearing our pieces with the kind of confidence that makes them come alive. She has shopped with us for years, choosing pieces that feel good, travel well, and celebrate the beauty of natural fibres.

Naming a kaftan after her felt effortless. She embodies everything we design for: ease, femininity, comfort and timeless style.

The Carolyn Kaftan Travels to Santorini

This year, Carolyn lived her European summer dream, travelling through Greece with her namesake kaftan in her suitcase. Seeing her wearing the Carolyn Kaftan in Santorini — against whitewashed walls, blue domes and the Aegean Sea — felt like watching the design come to life.

She wore it for slow mornings, seaside strolls, sunset dinners and those dreamy holiday moments that stay with you long after you return home. The lightweight cotton, relaxed drape and effortless silhouette made it the perfect European summer outfit.

Why We Designed the Carolyn Kaftan

This kaftan was created with the same qualities we love in Carolyn:

• Softness — breathable cotton perfect for warm days

• Ease — a relaxed silhouette that moves beautifully

• Confidence — a flattering shape for all body types

• Joy — a print that feels like sunshine and holiday energy

It’s the kind of resort‑wear kaftan you pack for every trip and reach for on every warm day.

A Love Letter to Our Martha’s Women

Women like Carolyn are the heart of our brand. They’re the reason we design small‑batch collections, the reason we choose natural fibres, and the reason our pieces feel personal rather than mass‑produced.

Carolyn, thank you for inspiring this beautiful kaftan — and for taking it on the adventure it deserved.

Here’s to many more summers, many more memories, and many more pieces named after the women we love.

Big Love Megs xx
