In the villages surrounding Jaipur, women have long stitched symbols of protection and affection into cloth meant to be worn close — talismans against harm, blessings for the one who wears them. This jacket carries that same spirit forward, its surface a field of hearts and crosses that read like a love letter written in thread.
Deep emerald velvet forms the canvas, its pile catching light in soft, mossy gradients. Across the body and sleeves, oversized ivory hearts are hand-crocheted in raised, dimensional stitchwork, their looped texture reminiscent of Central Asian suzani appliqué. Between them, mustard-gold crosses — worked in a dense satin crochet — scatter like kisses, an old motif of luck and affection found in Rajasthani folk embroidery. The reverse reveals a lively green-and-white striped cotton lining, a graphic counterpoint to the velvet's hushed richness.
Cut with a relaxed, boxy silhouette and a soft stand collar, this piece is built for layering through cool months — substantial enough to anchor an outfit, yet playful enough to feel like a keepsake rather than a coat. No two hearts are stitched quite alike, a quiet reminder of the hand behind every loop.
