Description

• Fabric: plain satin with a soft, even sheen

• Collar: wrap collar crossing left over right into a deep V

• Closure: three gold metal ball buttons along the side seam

• Silhouette: fitted, full straight sleeves, straight hem just below the waist

Under every bakhu and chuba there is a wonju, the long-sleeved inner blouse whose collar and cuffs are the only parts that show once the robe is wrapped and the sash tied. Tibetan, Bhutia and Sherpa women have made it in silk, satin and polished cotton for generations, in white, red, black and every bright colour the robe is not, and it is the piece that is changed most often. This satin wonju is cut plain so the colour does the work, and it is just as much a blouse on its own as it is a layer under the bakhu.

The satin is smooth and light with an even sheen, and the collar is a wrap band that crosses left over right and runs down to the side, where three gold metal ball buttons close it along the seam. The sleeves are full and straight, the body is shaped through a seam at each side, and the hem is cut straight to sit under a wrapped robe without a ridge. Each blouse is cut only after you order and checked for fit, finishing and cultural accuracy before it ships. Each one is tailor-made to your measurements — after ordering, Bhutib contacts you directly to confirm fit and preferences.

Wear it under a tash kuchin bakhu when the attached wonju is not enough, under a two-piece bakhu, a kira or a half bakhu skirt, or on its own with trousers; it belongs with the bakhus, chubas and khenjas of Tibetan dress. Each blouse is stitched for Bhutib in the Eastern Himalayan hills.

Garment type Wonju (honju), the inner blouse worn under the bakhu or chuba
Closure Wrap front, three gold metal ball buttons at the side seam
Cultural wear Tibetan, Bhutia and Sherpa women, under the bakhu for Losar, Saga Dawa, weddings and pujas
Styling Under a bakhu, chuba or kira; also alone with trousers or a long skirt

Questions buyers ask

Is this a wonju or a honju? Both names are used for the same inner blouse: wonju in Tibetan and Bhutia homes, honju among Sherpa and Tamang families. This is that blouse, cut in plain satin.

Will it show under a bakhu? The collar shows at the neck above the wrap and the cuffs show at the wrist, which is the point of a wonju: choose the colour to set off the bakhu.

Can I wear it without a bakhu? Yes. With plain trousers or a long skirt it is a satin wrap blouse with a side closure, and it works for an evening without any robe over it.

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.
