Hedvig Jacket - No. 282 One-size

Størrelse: One-size

Hedvig Kantha Suzani Jacket is a loose fit jacket upcycled from a kantha blanket. All over it is beautifully decorated with colorful suzani embroidery. The jacket is made with a delicate shawl collar and has dropped shoulders and wrist length sleeves. The jacket has pockets at front and comes with a detachable belt for a more feminine shape. All seams and edges are covered by striped cotton tapes.

This Suzani item is not only full of beautiful colors – the embroidery is also made by hand. The Suzani embroidery is made by Indian artisans, using the tambour to create a unique and vivid Suzani embroidery pattern. The name “Suzani” comes from the Persian word "su-zan," meaning needle. The Indian artisans use a hooked needle instrument called a tambour to create the intricate chain stitching that is the hallmark of Suzani embroidery. When buying our Suzani embroidered styles, you are supporting local artisans and traditional Indian handcraft.
