• Why we love it
• Care

• This unique one off superking size Suzani bedspread is simply stunning on a bed as a bedspread or as a big table cloth. This piece is carefully hand embroidered by Uzbek artisans and took months to complete it. Due to Suzani covers being handmade, there might be some imperfections and pen marks as the unique patterns are drawn on the silk cover before being embroidered. We believe this only adds to their uniqueness and just shows that they are not mass produced in a factory by a machine.   

• Made of Handloom Traditional Woven Suzani Fabric 100% Cotton with silk embroidery

• Size : 180 cm x 240 cm 

• The name suzani comes from the Persian word ‘suzan’ or ‘needle’. Suzani usually has a cotton or silk base for its cotton or silk embroidery, and its most common embroidery technique is the chain stitch.In central Asia, suzanis are given to the groom as a bride’s dowry. Due to the intricate work involved in making them, it is common for the suzani maker (usually the mother of the bride) to sketch the design on to the fabric (this is why we sometimes see pencil marks on the fabric) and divide it among many women in the village or family who helps embroidered them separately. Once complete, it is sewn back together to create one large, decorative piece.

• We just think that the uniqueness and bright colours makes Suzanis so special and they brighten any room you put them in. Popular motifs include various symbols of hospitality, prosperity and joy, sun and moon disks, flowers, leaves and vines, fruits and occasionally fish and birds. Pomegranates are especially popular.

• We don't recommend washing or dry cleaning suzani cushions as you risk colours may bleed or the fabric shrinks.
