Choco La brings the Maheshwari silk weave into a two piece suit set, a chocolate and caramel toned body in checks and stripes, paired with a gold dupatta. The fabric comes from Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh, a weaving tradition that received a Geographical Indication tag in 2010, giving the same lightweight silk cotton drape used in a Maheshwari saree to a more everyday, easy to wear format.
Both the shirt fabric and the dupatta are handwoven Maheshwari silk, each piece measuring 2.5 metres. Every length of fabric is handcrafted by Indian artisans, and small irregularities in colour and print are part of the handmade process, not a flaw.
The checks and stripes on the body give it enough texture to wear on its own, without needing heavy styling, while the gold dupatta lifts the whole set for a slightly dressier occasion. This is a fabric set, not a stitched, ready to wear outfit, so you will need to get the shirt fabric tailored to your size before wearing it.
Choco La suits everyday wear when styled simply, and works for festive or family occasions once stitched and paired with the gold dupatta. Both pieces hold Maheshwari silk's natural lightness, which makes the set comfortable for long days without feeling heavy.
A 2.5 metre length is generally enough fabric for a straight or A line kurta in most standard sizes, but it can run short for a flared Anarkali style or for taller heights, since extra flare and extra length both use more fabric. If you already know which style you want stitched, it is worth checking with your tailor before ordering whether 2.5 metres will be sufficient for that specific cut, rather than finding out after the fabric arrives. This set also does not include a bottom piece, only the shirt fabric and the dupatta, so you will need to pair it with a separate churidar, palazzo, or pant of your choice.
Choco La is handwoven in Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh, a craft established by Queen Ahilyabai Holkar in the 18th century and protected today under a Geographical Indication registration limiting genuine Maheshwari weaving to this region alone.
Hand wash separately in mild detergent. Unlike a Maheshwari saree with zari work, this suit set does not require dry cleaning, though a gentle hand wash is still recommended to protect the weave.
