of their cultural identity. The pattern or design of Lepcha dress is
sober and elegant.The length and style are gentle and weather
friendly. The accessories are simple and need based. All materials
and accessories of Lepcha dress are locally available and eco-friendly.
Weaving and dying are done most systematically and scientifically.
Lepcha women are good weavers and they acquire the skill of weaving
all parts of both male and female dress as part of their socialization.
