This phanek pairs a near-black base, striped with fine gold thread, against a deep maroon-black border where the Khoi Charong pattern unfolds in bold gold medallion and floral scrollwork. It’s a “medium kinar” (medium-width border) piece, giving it a balanced, statement-but-wearable presence rather than an overwhelming one.

Khoi Charong is one of our signature mapan patterns — a geometric-floral medallion motif with real visual weight, well suited to evening functions, weddings, and formal cultural events. The base fabric is handwoven by Manipuri weavers, with the medallion border finished in detailed gold machine embroidery.

Style this phanek with a black or gold-toned innaphi for a cohesive, richly toned look.

Care: Dry clean recommended. Store folded in breathable cloth, away from sunlight.
