Two-Piece Tego Style Bakhu Set for Women

Among Bhutia, Sherpa, and Tibetan women across the Eastern Himalayan hills, the pairing of a Tego top with a Bakhu wrapper skirt carries its own occasion logic — worn at Losar, at weddings, at the community gatherings where clothing signals cultural belonging as much as celebration. This two-piece set frames that pairing as a single composed ensemble: two distinct jacquard panels, each with its own woven motif, designed to read together.

The Tego top is cut in a crossover wrap silhouette — the deep V-neckline formed by the wrap itself, lapel facings cut in the precise colour of the skirt below, full-length sleeves finished with a cuff band in that same contrasting colour and edged with narrow gold metallic piping. The Bakhu wrapper skirt falls straight to the ankle in a slightly heavier jacquard weighted with large circular endless-knot medallions — auspicious symbols woven into the structure of the cloth, not printed — secured at the waist with a sash-tie. The colour-echo between lapel, cuffs, and skirt is deliberate: the eye reads the two pieces as one.

Worn for Losar, weddings, and the kind of community functions where dressing with cultural intention matters, the set works as a full ceremonial look or — the top worn alone — as something quieter and still grounded. Each piece is tailor-made to your measurements — after ordering, BHUTIB contacts you directly to confirm fit and preferences. Crafted in Kalimpong by artisans who have worked with these fabrics and this community’s dress for years.
