Description

  • Collar: Chinese stand collar finished with a pointed tab cut from the body brocade
  • Closure: diagonal side opening fastened with knotted loops and gold ball buttons, plus a sash
  • Sleeves: full-length contrast honju sleeves stitched in, with brocade cuffs
  • Back: inverted pleat from the waist to the hem

Most bakhus cross at the chest and wrap. This one fastens instead, along a diagonal that runs from the collar to the right underarm and down the side seam, the line of a cheongsam, which is where the name Chinese collar comes from. The stand collar ends in a small pointed tab that folds over the opening, and the full-length honju sleeves are already sewn in.

The body is Tash Kuchin brocade, and each colourway pairs it with its own sleeve cloth: a contrasting Korean honju fabric, smoother and lighter than the brocade, so the arms move freely while the body keeps its shape. The collar band is cut from the sleeve cloth and the tab from the brocade, and brocade cuffs carry the body fabric back to the wrist. Knotted loops close over gold ball buttons at the collar, the chest and down the side, and a self-fabric sash ties at the hip. An inverted pleat at the back opens as you walk.

It is the bakhu for days when you want to look finished buttoned to the neck: a puja at home, a winter Losar visit, a long working day. Each piece is tailor-made to your measurements, and Bhutib confirms the fit with you after you order. A wrap dress, closed the other way.

Garment type One-piece bakhu with side fastening and sewn-in honju sleeves
Cultural wear Tibetan, Sherpa and Bhutia women; a buttoned alternative to the wrap bakhu
Styling No separate honju needed; a small brooch sits well beside the collar tab

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.
