In the villages beyond Jodhpur, the arrival of a traveling mela brings galloping horses, garlands of marigold, and children chalking stars on courtyard walls. This jacket carries that same unruly joy — a cornflower-blue velvet canvas scattered with the symbols of celebration, each one stitched by hand the way a grandmother might embroider a story for her granddaughter's trousseau.
Prancing horses in coral and aubergine canter across the body, flanked by sunburst medallions with deep violet centers, interlocking hearts in peach and plum, and a constellation of small crosses, dots, and florets in olive gold. The collar and cuffs are trimmed with a procession of tiny coral hearts, finishing the piece like the edge of an old suzani textile pulled from a dowry chest.
Cut with a relaxed, boxy silhouette and a soft cotton-striped lining, this jacket is built for layering over simple separates — the embroidery doing all the talking. No two motifs are placed quite the same, a reminder of the human hand behind every stitch.
