“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.

Genuine handloom ikat fabric

The hot pink cotton and silk ikat fabric was made in Fergana region of Uzbekistan which is knows an a silk-making Mecca of Central Asia. The ikat weaving process used to this day is the same ikat weaving process, which was established centuries ago and has been passed from one generation to the next. Often times ikat patterns and weaving techniques were kept within the same family as secrets.

This is a real handloom woven ikat fabric. If you wish to read further on a difference between ikat fabrics and ikat print, please read “What is a difference between "ikat" and "ikat print”?"

The fabric has a beautiful moiré pattern

Moiré is a finishing process, which gives fabrics a luxurious texture and feel. Please pay close attention to images to see a full richness of the fabric.

Oscar de la Renta and his love for Uzbek ikats

Late Oscar de la Renta loved using bold Uzbek ikat fabrics in his collections. In his summer 2015 collection he featured several dresses with exactly the same ikat pattern. Here is an article where we pay a tribute to a grand maestro and talk about this specific pink and white ikat pattern.

Pattern matching service

In case you did not know we offer ikat pattern matching service. Ikat pattern needs to be matched for wider applications (e.g., for making curtains or using ikat fabrics for upholstery). We can match the ikat pattern for you so that you receive an already "widened" ikat fabric. This way you only pay exactly for a number of meters that you need.
