TRIBAL GEAR CHOLI TOPS

 

These are the tops of traditional dresses worn by the

Baloch women of Afghanistan.

Baluch people have preserved their traditional dress with little change over the centuries. The dress worn by Baluch women is one of the most interesting aspects of Baluchi culture. They are of strong significance to the culture of Iran and hold a special place in the society. The women put on loose dress and pants with sophisticated and colorful needlework. The upper part of the dress and sleeves are also decorated with needlework, a form of artistry that is specific to the clothing of the Baluch women. Often the dress also contains round or square pieces of glass to further enhance the presentation. (Wikipedia)

Our tops are uniquely decorated with beads, coins, shells and buttons. They run small but can easily be adapted for any size.

Banjara Tribal Choli

These women’s backless choli (kapada) tops are from Rajastan and Gujarat, India. Each vintage hand-made choli is made from segments and sewn together. Our cholis are vintage and have seen a bit of wear but are still in great condition. They are on the small side but can easily be altered to fit larger sizes. These beautiful works of art can be displayed on your walls (they look awesome framed) or as a costume component for Tribal Bellydance.
