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?

Product Details
Fiber content: Cotton / silk blend for ikat and reused coffee bean burlap fabric for the reverse side.
Care instructions: Dry clean only
Dimension (inches): 23.6" x 23.6"
Dimension (cm): 60cm x 60cm

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 60cm pillow covers and closes with a zipper on a side.

The inspiration for this product came about a year ago when in Palermo, Sicily I came across a wholesale 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, 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 a side.
