“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.

Product Details

For this product, we combined hand-dyed and hand-woven ikat fabric for one side and a burlap material from a coffee bean bag for another side. The cover fits standard 60cm x 30cm pillow covers and closes with a zipper on the side. The inspiration for this product came about a year ago when in Palermo, Sicily I came across a coffee store. I happened to ask a seller if they would be willing to sell a coffee bean bag - I had no idea for what, I just knew I wanted one. The seller, a generous Sicilian soul, gave me two bags for free.


We designed this pillow cover thinking of summer, balconies, gardens, and possibly seating on the floor and using this as a cushion. The pillow cover is made of entirely organic fibers which in itself is a luxury.

The cover closes with a zipper on the side.
