Beige & Red Silk Cotton Mekhela Chador with Woven Border

Description

Beige & Red Silk Cotton Mekhela Chador with Woven Border — a natural beige body sprinkled with red and black floral butis, bordered in a striking red and black woven pattern and trimmed with red tassels.

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 silk cotton, 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 beige tones and the woven border do the talking.
