Kerala's timeless style is deeply rooted in its cultural identity. From the iconic mundu for men to the graceful set mundu and symbolic Manthrakodi saree for women, tradition is woven into every fold.
🌿 At WiMO, we bring you this tradition—made effortless with ready-to-wear drapes designed for today.
Mundu – The Traditional Dress of Kerala Men
The mundu is the traditional dress of Kerala, typically a cotton or silk cloth wrapped around the waist and paired with a shirt or angavastram. It's worn by men for daily wear, temple visits, festivals, and weddings.

Whether for a wedding or a cultural event, our Velcro dhoti brings you comfort, ease, and elegance—all in one smart wrap.
