“Serenity” teal, black and cream hand painted lacquer jewelry box

UzbekAlive owes its beginning to hand painted lacquer boxes made of papier-mâché .

The inspiration came around 2000 from Koshib Omonov, Uzbek artist of lacquer painting in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

The first version of UzbekAlive website was entirely devoted to lacquer hand painted boxes. Slowly we expanded into ikat fabrics, ikat pillow covers, silk scarves and other cultural treasures Uzbekistan offers.

Over the years these jewelry boxes have touched many hearts around the world. We have customers who ordered such hand painted jewelry boxes as gifts for their bridesmaids – an artist customized jewelry boxes by writing names of a newlywed couple on the backside of a lid. People in love used our jewelry boxes to propose to their loved ones. Fathers bought our jewelry boxes for their teenage daughters as their first jewelry box. Whatever the occasion these jewelry boxes win hearts with their beauty and intricate details of painting and make unique and unforgettable gifts.

Art by Koshib Omonov is also presented in Hand Painted Barrettes category.

Fashion accessories are vital part of an outfit. Unique accessories are even more vital because they make us look ... well ... unique. In today’s dynamic world more and more people adopt minimalism as a lifestyle, however, interesting accessories is what makes minimalism work and more interesting. This is an idea behind Ikats - they need to be used sparingly because with an overwhelm of a good thing its goodness is less appreciated. Now imagine, a simple charcoal linen dress and a colorful Ikat clutch. Or basic jeans and a fitted black crewneck t-shirt with an Ikat purse. These little Ikat elements are the focal points that make your look unique.

Since we are on a topic of fashion accessories - please also check out our silk Ikat scarves. Scarves are the easiest way to add chic to your wardrobe.
