A soft ivory base runs through this piece, finely striped with Jalembu teal thread, opening into a wide border where full roses bloom in vivid teal with fine gold outline embroidery — roses and buds set against a pale ivory ground, framed by a geometric teal trim. The Jalembu (teal) and ivory palette feels fresh and modern while staying rooted in traditional handloom craftsmanship.

This is an Ahkhet Asung Muga weave, keeping the body light and breathable, letting the richly detailed rose border carry the visual interest. The gold outline stitching along each rose petal adds a subtle shimmer that catches the light without overwhelming the cool, calming Jalembu color palette.

The base fabric is handwoven by Manipuri weavers, with the rose border finished in detailed machine embroidery.

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