Floral white pink green hand embroidered suzani pillow cover from Uzbekistan

Our collection of suzani embroidered pillow covers includes hand embroidered suzani pillow covers as well as machine embroidered ones. The base fabric of each suzani pillow cover is an undyed cotton cloth. Embroidery threads are hand dyed silk floss.

The term suzani derives from a Farsi word for a needle, ‘suzan”. According to Uzbek traditions girls learnt an art of suzani embroidery from an early age and embroidered various things for their dowries. These embroidered pieces were bedcovers, pillow covers and various other textile items. Soul finds its reflection in a work that the soul makes. This is why, one could read a character of a girl by inspecting her suzani. Is she joyous? is she peaceful? Does she pay attention to details?

Hand woven pure silk ikat scarf celebrating spring arrival and warmer days.This silk Ikat scarf was made using a centuries old technique of ikat weaving.

In Uzbekistan this technique is known as abr technique (Persian, abr = cloud).

The scarf is made in Fergana Valley of Uzbekistan.

Colors in photos above all look slightly different. They were all taken in the daylight. Some photos were taken on a sunny day, others on a cloudy. Depending on lighting silk, which has a noble sheen to it, will reflect light differently.
