High contrast makes this piece stand out — a deep dark brown base woven with medium zari, striped through with fine gold thread, paired with a light cream border where the Takhellei floral motif is worked in soft yellow and white tones. The dark-and-light contrast gives it a striking, photograph-ready presence while keeping the palette elegant rather than loud.

This is a medium zari Ahkhet Asung Muga weave — the medium-weight zari threading through the base gives it a warm metallic sheen without being overly heavy, while the cream floral border adds the statement detail. The base fabric is handwoven, with the Takhellei border finished in machine embroidery.

Pair with a cream or gold innaphi to echo the contrast border, or a matching dark brown for a more monochrome look.

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