Red and maroon carry deep significance in Manipuri celebration wear, and this phanek leans fully into that richness — a warm red base striped through with darker maroon tones, opening into a matching red border where the Khoi Charong medallion motif is picked out in bold gold embroidery.

This is a Phige Sabi Zari weave, prized for its fine, dense texture, here paired with a full-width medallion border for real visual presence. It’s a strong choice for weddings, Ningol Chakouba, or any major celebration where a bold, traditional red phanek feels right.

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

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