Description

  • Design: full-length sleeves in floral Korean honju fabric, stitched into the bodice
  • Neckline: a narrow lapel in the same floral cloth crosses to the waist
  • Closure: wrap front tied with a side sash
  • Back: inverted pleat from the waist seam to the hem

In Sikkim and Darjeeling a Bhutia woman’s bakhu is rarely seen on its own. The honju blouse underneath shows at the neck and runs the length of the arm, and choosing that blouse is half the outfit. This bakhu makes the choice for you: the sleeves and a narrow lapel are cut from a floral Korean honju fabric and sewn into a plain suiting body, so the layered bakhu-over-honju look comes as one garment.

The body is plain suiting with a soft satin lustre, dark enough to let the sleeves lead. The honju cloth carries a tonal floral pattern on a brighter ground, and it is lighter and more fluid than the suiting, so the sleeves move while the body holds its line. The lapel stays narrow, a clean strip that crosses the chest and tucks under the sash. A single inverted pleat at the back opens as you walk.

With the sleeves already in place it needs nothing beneath but a camisole, which makes it an easy choice for a family puja, a Losar visit or an evening reception. Each piece is tailor-made to your measurements, and Bhutib confirms the fit with you after you order. Two cloths, one garment, no second layer to manage.

Garment type One-piece bakhu with honju sleeves sewn in
Cultural wear Bhutia, Sherpa and Tibetan women across Sikkim, Darjeeling and the diaspora
Styling Worn over a camisole; no separate honju needed

Questions people actually ask

Will it fit if I’ve never been measured?

Yes. Choose your usual size. Before we cut, we message you on WhatsApp for two numbers — your chest or bust at the fullest part, and your height — and adjust the pattern to you. A tape and two minutes is all it takes.

What if it doesn’t fit when it arrives?

We alter it free. Courier it back to us in Kalimpong (that leg is on you); we adjust it and pay the courier back to you. Or take it to a tailor near you — every piece is cut with margin for a small local adjustment.

Is there anything to pay on top of the price?

No. Delivery is free across India and the price includes tax, so the amount you see is the amount you pay. Two exceptions, both quoted before you order: a size above 4XL carries a small surcharge for the extra cloth, and a personal customisation beyond a standard size is confirmed with a 10% advance on the order; the rest is paid on delivery, as usual.

Can I cancel, or change the size or colour?

Before we cut, yes — tell us on WhatsApp and nothing is lost. After cutting, the piece is made to your measurements and cannot go back into stock; if it does not fit, we alter it free.

I’m buying for someone I can’t measure — what do I do?

Choose their usual size and add their WhatsApp number in the order notes. We confirm the rest with them, or with you, before we cut.

Need a size we do not list?

We cut it. Smaller than the smallest size shown, larger than the largest, and for babies and children too. Message us the measurements on WhatsApp; for a child we need chest, shoulder-to-foot length and sleeve length. Above 4XL the extra cloth carries a small surcharge, quoted before you pay.

Can it come faster?

Sometimes. Tell us your date before you order and, if a faster courier reaches your pincode, we quote the difference. Either way, tell us the date and we cut yours first.

Will it reach me before my date?

Allow 6–9 working days from the day you confirm your measurements, anywhere in India, a little longer for remote pincodes. Tell us the date in the order notes or on WhatsApp and we plan around it.

Do you ship outside India?

Not through this website yet; it ships within India only. Message us on WhatsApp and we will arrange it, or order from our Etsy shop, which ships worldwide with free shipping.

Is the colour the same as the photo?

The photos are of the actual cloth in daylight; screens differ a little. To be sure, ask us on WhatsApp for a photo of the cloth before we cut.
