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?

This is one and only boudoir size ikat pillow cover in this ikat pattern.

Why so single, you may ask?

Because most of the ikat fabric we had in this ikat pattern went into ikat table runners (which already sold). The leftover fabric which was just enough for a small boudoir pillow continued its life as a pillow cover mixed with a natural linen fabric for the back fabric.

Uzbek ikat fabrics are a hand work of many artisans. Our ikat fabrics are hand-dyed and handloom woven In Fergana Valley of Uzbekistan. This is why it is a common practice for us to be practical with every inch of our ikat fabrics. We know that our fabrics represent lives and energy of human souls. And we respect both time and energy of other people.

The cover closes with an invisible zipper on a side and fits standard 12" x 16" (31cm x 41cm) pillow inserts.
