In the walled courtyards of old Samarkand, gardens bloomed in wool and silk long before they bloomed in soil — women stitched pomegranates and marigolds onto cloth to carry summer through the winter months. This jacket carries that same impulse, translated by Jaipur artisans onto a slate-blue cotton canvas that feels like dusk settling over the desert.
Coiling black vines, rendered in dense chain stitch, wind across the shoulders and hem in a lattice of leaves and starburst sprigs — the classic Suzani scrollwork. Within their circles sit coral-pink pomegranate medallions, each centered with a comma of ivory thread, alternating with sunburst marigolds in burnt orange, their petals fanning out from a white-and-red heart. The collar and front placket are trimmed in a candy-striped border of orange and rose chain stitch, framing the face like an old caravan textile.
Woven from nubby, textured cotton and cut with a relaxed, open silhouette, this jacket layers as easily over a plain kurta as over denim. Every motif is worked entirely by hand, so no two jackets carry identical spacing or tension — a quiet signature of the artisan who made yours.
