Karbi Traditional Pekok and Pini Set for Women

Discover the Artistry of the Karbi Hills

Celebrate Assamese craftsmanship with this Handwoven Karbi Pekok and Pini Set — an authentic tribal ensemble handcrafted by skilled weavers in Karbi Anglong, Assam. The set contains a pini (wrap skirt, worn from waist to knee and tied with a waist belt) and a pekok (square upper-body drape traditionally tied above the right shoulder). Woven using high-quality Thai yarn, the fabric balances comfort, durability, and an elegant drape.

The design highlights the iconic Rohitak shaped motif combined with traditional border patterns that characterize Karbi handloom textiles. Each piece is loom-crafted in small batches; natural variations in weave and color are authentic signatures of handwoven artistry. Perfect for cultural occasions, stage performances, festive celebrations, or as a standout addition to everyday ethnic wear — this pekok and pini set is both a wearable art piece and a cultural keepsake.

The Outfit: Elegance Defined

• The Pini (Skirt): This is a beautifully crafted wrap-around skirt designed to be worn from the waist to the knees. It is secured comfortably with an attached waist tie belt, making it adjustable for a perfect, custom fit. The skirt’s design is both modest and graceful, allowing for ease of movement.
• The Pekok (Upper Drape): The Pekok is a striking square piece of cloth that adds the defining element to the outfit. It is artfully draped across the upper body and tied elegantly above the right shoulder. This drape adds layers of dimension, colour, and traditional flair to the overall appearance.

A Testament to Traditional Weaving

Each thread in this set is woven with intention and skill on traditional looms in the serene hills of Karbi Anglong. The use of high-grade Thailand yarn ensures the fabric is not only soft against the skin but also retains its vibrant colour and structure for years. The standout feature is the intricate Rohitak-shaped design woven into the fabric; a pattern deeply rooted in Karbi aesthetics and natural inspiration.
