Speciality

Crafted with utmost care by skilled artisans from Northeast India, this Mekhela Chador exemplifies simplicity, elegance and trendiness. Handmade with precision, it showcases the expertise and craftsmanship of the region. It is also an eco-friendly choice, celebrating sustainable fashion.

Salient Features

The mekhela, the bottom portion of this attire, is akin to a sarong. It is a wide cylinder of cloth folded into pleats to fit around the waist, creating a flattering silhouette. Unlike the pleats of a Nivi-style saree, the folds in a Mekhela Chador are made to the right. The mekhela is secured without the use of strings, while an underskirt with a string is often worn for added comfort.

The chador, the top portion of the dress, is a long length of cloth. One end is tucked into the upper part of the mekhela, while the rest gracefully drapes over and around the body. The chador is adorned with triangular folds, lending it a unique appeal. Traditionally, a riha garment was worn, and it continues to be a part of the Assamese bridal trousseau, worn over a fitted blouse.

This Assamese Traditional Mekhela Chador is a 100% genuine product meticulously made by skilled artisans of Assam. The set includes pure silk blouse fabric that can be customized according to your preferred style or pattern.
