Assam Sarees – Authentic Handloom Elegance from Assam

Assam Sarees are among the most celebrated handloom traditions of India. Crafted in luxurious Moonga Silk, Eri Silk, Tussar Silk, and Cotton, these sarees are loved for their unique weaving style, natural fibers, and motifs inspired by nature. The Mekhla Chador, a traditional two-piece Assamese attire, is the most iconic form of this garment.

At Luxurion World, we bring you an exclusive collection of Assamese sarees and Mekhla Chadors, handwoven by master artisans of Assam, blending timeless heritage with modern elegance.

What is a Mekhla Chador? 

Unlike a regular saree, a Mekhla Chador has two pieces:

  • Mekhla – the bottom drape, a cylindrical skirt wrapped around the waist and pleated.
  • Chador – the upper drape, tucked into the Mekhla and worn like a saree pallu.

Traditionally made in Moonga, Pat Silk, and Eri Silk, these garments feature handwoven motifs—never printed—depicting flowers, animals, and nature-inspired symbols.
