Red Eri Silk Mekhela Sador

Woven in rich red Eri silk, this Mekhela Sador is patterned with intricate floral motifs in muted golden Tussar and blue Eri meenakari, creating a striking interplay of colour, texture and light. The dense all-over weave gives the fabric a quiet opulence, while the vivid red brings a sense of warmth and presence. Traditional in craft, but with a distinctly contemporary restraint.
