Satrangi Pearly White Kesa Paat Silk Mekhela Sador
About Me
This charming, pearly white and red Satrangi kesa paat/raw mulberry silk mekhela sador with multicoloured kingkhap style motifs is a beautiful attire for a day time function. The borders are densely stacked with traditional Assamese kolka kahori buta with multiple lines of chain buta. The elegantly handcrafted red, purple, black, green, yellow and blue kingkhap motifs are indeed a treat to the eye.
The kingkhap style Assamese motif is inspired from the Ahom dynasty and signifies the royalty and magnanimity of the erstwhile kingdom. This signifies that Sereki absolutely works with inspiration, taken from the Assamese history itself.

Wear with Care - Care Guide
Never hand-wash or machine-wash a silk mekhela sador. | |
In case the mekhela sador gets stained, immediately wipe the stain off with cold water. | |
It is advisable to only dry-clean silk mekhela sadors. | |
Never hang a silk mekhela sador to dry in direct sunlight as doing so will cause the color to fade. | |
Don’t keep the mekhela sador bundled up as this will result in the threads of the embroidery work getting entangled. | |
Store the mekhela sador in a light cotton muslin cloth. This will give the mekhela sador breathing space and will prevent one mekhela sador from sticking to another when kept in a pile. | |
Don’t store the mekhela sador in a plastic cover as this will cause the gold embroidery to turn black. |
