Rai Collection

Shop Rai Dress for Men and Women

Our Rai traditional dress collection brings together authentic garments and accessories sourced from local Kirat artisans — the same craftsmanship your family has worn at Udhauli and Ubhauli for generations. The collection features velvet chindu tops, dot cotton and embroidered lehenga skirts, classic Cholo/Chaubandi blouses, and wrap pieces inspired by the Phariya tradition.

Before you explore this collection further, know that Eastern Nepal’s textile traditions run deep and wide. Alongside the Rai, the neighboring Yakthung community offers its own proud heritage — discover authentic Limbu ceremonial dress handwoven for Chasok Tangnam and worn with the iconic Silam Sakma. And for the broadest view of Nepal’s hill communities dressed in their finest, our Nepali traditional dress for all communities brings together Rai, Limbu, Tamang, Gurung, Sherpa, and more under one curated collection.

  • Wraps & Layers
  • Phariya-influenced wraps, light shawls, and structured scarves that frame the outfit and keep hands free during Sakela dance.

Fabric, fit & finish

Expect breathable cottons, plush velvet with gold butti, and light jacquards for structure. Skirts feature comfortable waistbands or wrap ties; tops prioritize shoulder room for dance. Borders and trims nod to Rai aesthetics, while neat piping and secure closures keep lines crisp for all-day wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How should I size a Rai lehenga or a dot cotton skirt?

Choose your usual waist size; for wrap or tie styles, the overlap is adjustable. If you prefer extra movement for Sakela dance, size up for more flare and ease.

For daytime events, pick cotton or light jacquard blouses. Save velvet chindu for evenings or indoor ceremonies; they’re lined and finished for comfort but naturally warmer.

Products labelled “set” include both pieces; others are sold as separates so you can mix blouses (Cholo/Chaubandi/chindu) with dot skirts or Phariya-inspired wraps.

Dry-clean velvet or before long storage. For cotton skirts/wraps, gentle cold-water hand wash and dry flat; avoid wringing to protect embroidery and borders.

A dot cotton or embroidered skirt with a Cholo/Chaubandi or chindu top works well. Add a light shawl for the parade and comfortable footwear for community dances.
