Social Media Marketing case study

Kashmiri Kali: a Rakhi launch powered by a 26.6K-view creator collab

Kashmiri Kali sells hand-embroidered Aari and Tilla suits and kaftans as slow, wearable art. A premium label like that can't just shout discounts; it has to be discovered. For the Rakhi season we paired editorial brand storytelling with a creator collaboration that put the collection in front of far more people than the brand's own grid could reach.

The brief

Launch a premium collection in the busiest season

Premium ethnic wear is a crowded, trust-driven category, and Rakhi is its busiest window. Kashmiri Kali had a beautiful product (suits and kaftans from ₹3,115 to ₹9,912 on kashmirikali.com), a new collection, Zariya, and an Instagram presence still finding its audience.

The brief: launch the Rakhi collection to new buyers without cheapening a label built on master-artisan craft, and tell the Kashmir story behind every stitch.

What we did

Creator reach plus editorial storytelling

A creator collaboration for reach, a festive offer for urgency and an editorial grid for desire.

Influencer collaboration

A co-authored Instagram Collab reel with creator @vidhi.bhargava_ ('STOP scrolling! Your Rakhi outfit is waiting for you'), featuring the kaftan and Muslin Silk suit and shown on both profiles.

Rakhi festive campaign

An 'August be Ready' teaser reel and the 'Rakhi Collection is LIVE' collab, followed by RAKHI20 creatives (an extra 20% off) for the Wadi Luxe Kaftan collection and Aari-work suits.

Zariya collection launch

A launch poster with the pink floral Kashmiri Kali wordmark: 'Presents New Collection: Zariya'.

Editorial visual identity

Models in red, black and cream embroidered suits against soft neutral interiors, moody black-and-white frames, and a palette of deep reds, maroons and gold.

Heritage storytelling

Dal Lake and Kashmir scenery posts and craft-led captions ('Draped in sunshine, rooted in heritage') sell the story behind the embroidery.

Scheduled publishing

A run of four posts (editorial looks and a Dal Lake story), produced together and auto-published at 6 PM IST on four consecutive days (14 to 17 August).

Results & proof

The collab that carried the launch

Partnering with the right creator gave the Rakhi collection a reach the brand's own grid could not match on its own.
