In the walled workshops of Jaipur, where Suzani needlework travelled centuries ago along Silk Road caravans, this jacket takes its cue from the gardens stitched onto Central Asian dowry cloths — dense, symmetrical, and alive with meaning. The brick-maroon velvet ground was chosen for its depth, a canvas dark enough to let the embroidery glow like lantern light.
Across the back, twin paisley boteh motifs unfurl in dusty turquoise and blush pink, their curling tips echoing the ancient teardrop symbol of the cypress tree. Moss-green fern vines climb the full length of the jacket, each leaf worked in tight chain stitch, while a radiant pink-petalled sunflower with a turquoise heart anchors the hem — a nod to Rajasthani sun motifs found in traditional phulkari work. A scalloped border of looping vines in pink, teal, and sage finishes the collar and hem, framing the piece like a hand-bound manuscript.
Underneath the ornamentation, this is a jacket built for living in — a relaxed, oversized silhouette in plush cotton velvet that drapes rather than restricts. Layer it over denim for an everyday statement, or let it stand alone as the evening's centerpiece; either way, no two panels of embroidery fall exactly alike, since every stitch is guided by hand, not machine.
