In the walled cities of Rajasthan, the tiger has long been stitched into legend — a guardian motif, fierce yet ornamental, prowling across textiles passed through generations. This jacket carries that spirit, rendered entirely in thread on deep black velvet, as if the creature stepped out of a royal tapestry and into the everyday.
The tiger dominates the back panel in open, lattice-like chain stitch — its body rendered in amber, ochre, and burnt sienna threads left hollow at the core, so the black velvet shows through like shadow beneath fur. Around it, a wild garden blooms: sprays of grass-green vine work in satin stitch, punctuated by clustered florets in fuchsia, rose pink, and crimson. Two bold red blossoms anchor the shoulders like brocade rosettes, echoing the layered floral embroidery found in old Rajasthani odhnis and Central Asian suzani textiles.
Every stitch here is laid by hand, which means no two jackets carry the tiger in quite the same pose. The velvet ground is soft and substantial, built for cool evenings, and the embroidery's density gives the jacket real weight and presence — a wearable piece of narrative textile art rather than a passing trend.
