Naz Suzani and Ikat Kaftan

Hand-dyed, hand-loomed, and meticulously handmade by skilled artisans in Uzbekistan, our Naz Suzani and Ikat Kaftan showcases captivating contrast through its hand-embroidered Suzani panels with its beautiful silk as well as its captivating Ikat lining. Each one-of-a-kind jacket is sewn in Turkey and finished in Germany. 

Uzbekistan's cultural prestige finds representation in the use of Suzani and Ikat fabric, a tradition laden with symbolism. In the local Uzbek language, Ikat finds its origins in the Persian word 'abr,' meaning 'cloud,' reflecting the patterns resembling clouds in the sky and their mirrored image in water whereas the term "Suzani"signifies "needle," serving as nomenclature for a form of needlework.

The process commences with the utilization of domestically spun and hand-loomed cotton fabric, meticulously woven on narrow looms. Assemblage of up to six cotton panels fosters the creation of sizable cloth canvases. Subsequently, employing graphite or charcoal styluses, design outlines are directly traced onto the cotton substrate. Predominantly regional, designs exhibit slight nuances, attributing them to specific locales, discernible through motif choices and employed techniques. Chain, satin, and buttonhole stitches are prevalent, alongside couching methods. Silk, employed for its vibrant and authentic hues, infuses life into the palette.

Crafted entirely from cotton and silk, the kaftan provides optimal comfort through its lining.
