Description
The Lepcha Men’s Waistcoat celebrates the quiet artistry of Sikkim’s mountain communities.
Its textured cotton-poly fabric showcases vertical stripes and geometric patterns drawn from ancient Lepcha textiles. The design is finished with a band collar, loop-toggle front, and short hand-fringed hem — subtle details that highlight true artisan craftsmanship.
The sleeveless straight cut ensures breathability across seasons, while the smooth inner lining allows comfortable layering over kurtas, shirts, or daura tops.
Perfect for Lyang, family gatherings, and cultural festivals, it transitions easily into contemporary style when paired with jeans or trousers.
Durable, light, and meaningful — this waistcoat brings the Lepcha story into everyday wear, a tribute to Himalayan roots and modern living.
