In the villages surrounding Jaipur, the tiger has long been stitched into textiles as a symbol of quiet strength — a motif passed from grandmother to granddaughter through generations of needlework. This jacket carries that lineage forward, each tiger rendered not as a fearsome predator but as a watchful companion, poised amid a garden in full bloom.
Worked entirely by hand on deep moss green velvet, twin tigers in ochre, mustard, and rust thread anchor the front panels, their stripes picked out in black and cream chain stitch. Above them, oversized suzani-style blossoms unfurl in crimson red and fuchsia pink, trailing vines of forest green leaves and clusters of small pink wildflowers climb toward the collar. The reverse of the sleeves carries the same botanical rhythm, ensuring the embroidery reads as a continuous narrative rather than a single motif.
The velvet ground gives the embroidery a soft, lived-in richness — light catching differently across each stitch as you move. Lined in a crisp green-and-white stripe cotton for breathability, this piece transitions easily from a statement layer over simple separates to the focal point of an evening look. No two jackets carry identical placement, making each one a singular artifact of the embroiderer's hand.
