Mirror-Work Chaniya Choli & Dupatta — Kajal Black

Dark, dramatic and alive with colour — a chaniya choli where every bright detail seems to glow against the black.

The look begins with a soft sage-green choli, contrasted by deep navy sleeves and a densely embroidered yoke rich in traditional colour and detail. Below, the skirt takes over in kajal black, its dark ground giving the red, magenta, purple and turquoise panels a striking intensity. Mirror work and multicolour embroidery around the waist add flashes of light as the fabric moves.

But it is the hem that truly commands attention. A broad marigold border, filled with sweeping paisley motifs, mirror work and vivid thread embroidery, runs around the base of the skirt. When the lehenga opens in a turn, that brilliant ring of marigold carries the entire silhouette — bold, joyful and impossible to miss.

The black dupatta brings the outfit back to its darker palette, scattered with delicate gold booti before finishing in playful marigold tassels. It is a lovely counterpoint to the exuberance below: understated from a distance, full of thoughtful detail up close.

A piece built on contrasts — kajal black against jewel-bright panels, cool sage and navy above, and a glorious sweep of marigold below.

Details: Three-piece set comprising choli, skirt and black dupatta. One size, with an adjustable drawstring waist.
