In the bazaars of old Jaipur, mothers stitched the evil eye into the hems of their children's clothes — not as decoration, but as devotion. This jacket carries that same instinct: protection worn openly, embroidery as amulet.
Oversized nazar motifs bloom across slate-blue velvet, each eye rendered in chalky ivory and cornflower blue thread, centered with a deep obsidian pupil and a pale grey highlight. Radiating black sunburst lines fan outward from each eye like lashes caught mid-blink, hand-chained in dense suzani stitchwork that catches light differently with every fold of the fabric. A striped cotton lining in burgundy and dove grey peeks from the collar and cuffs — a quiet, structured contrast to the velvet's soft density.
Cut in a relaxed, boxy silhouette with a stand collar, this jacket drapes rather than fits — meant to be thrown over silk slips or worn open over simple black. The velvet ages beautifully, softening with wear, while the embroidery holds its saturation season after season.
