“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.

Ever Worn a Piece of History? This ikat cotton scarf isn’t just another accessory—it’s a glimpse into Uzbekistan’s rich textile heritage and how traditions evolved with time. The bold patterns and vibrant colors showcase classic ikat artistry, while modern machine weaving makes it more accessible than ever.

When Uzbekistan became part of the USSR, handwoven fabrics alone couldn’t keep up with the needs of a growing population. Machine weaving stepped in, blending tradition with industrial efficiency. This scarf carries that history, combining the beauty of ikat with the practicality of modern craftsmanship.

Made from soft, breathable Uzbek cotton, it’s lightweight and easy to wear year-round. The signature ikat pattern—featuring flame-like teardrops in purple, blue, yellow, and black—stands out against a light gray background. With its slightly blurred edges and delicate fringed ends, it has just the right mix of artistry and everyday charm.

Wear it how you like—wrapped around your neck, draped over your shoulders, or even tied to your bag for a pop of color. Whether you’re dressing up or keeping it casual, this scarf brings a unique touch to any outfit.
