Off White Cotton Silk Mekhela Chador with Geometric Woven Border

Description

Off White Cotton Silk Mekhela Chador with Geometric Woven Border — an ivory off-white body dotted with small multicoloured butis, edged by a broad geometric border in indigo blue and deep maroon, with blue tassels along the pleats.

The Mekhela Chador (also written mekhela sador) is the traditional two-piece drape of Assam: the mekhela is pleated and worn at the waist, while the chador is draped over the shoulder. This piece is woven in cotton silk, giving it an easy, breathable drape that stays comfortable through long festive days.

A natural choice for Bihu, weddings, pujas and family celebrations, and equally at home at an office function or a daytime gathering. Wear it with traditional gold jhumkas and a simple bun to let the off white tones and the woven border do the talking.
