Gold Parkar (Traditional Skirt) is a classic handmade petticoat-style skirt traditionally worn under sarees, lehengas, and regional outfits. This product is crafted by Laxmi Mahila SHG from Ratnagiri district, Maharashtra, and is offered as a pack of 1. Designed to provide comfort, support, and traditional elegance, the parkar holds an important place in Maharashtrian and Konkan women’s attire.

A parkar, also referred to as a traditional skirt or lehenga petticoat, is worn for everyday use as well as during cultural events, festivals, and ceremonies. Unlike modern stitched innerwear, a parkar offers a flared structure that helps maintain the natural fall of sarees and traditional dresses. Gold Parkar follows this time-tested design to ensure ease of movement and proper drape.

Laxmi Mahila SHG is a women-led Self Help Group engaged in handmade textile and garment-related activities using traditional tailoring skills. Based in Ratnagiri, the SHG focuses on careful stitching, proper measurements, and durable finishing.
