This is a Suzani quilt. This piece contains a variety of floral and animal crewel embroidery. The embroidery is known as crewel, because it is much thicker than traditional American embroidery. This piece can be worn inside out for a more subtle color way if desired. In our opinion this jacket is soft, floppy, light weight, and comfortable. It is a dream to wear and style. PLEASE NOTE: There were some minor staining and color bleed spots, we had a hard time capturing these flaws but the price reflects these spots. We have also found that unlike American quilts, Suzanis snag much easier and are prone to loose threads. If this is something that will drive you nuts, we would respectfully direct you away from this art genre. If you have further questions please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.

Please note that all of our jackets are made from antique quilts and the fabric reflects this. Our fabrics are sometimes older than 100 years old and are perfectly worn. We believe this is what makes them special and is part of their charm. All of our garments are pre-washed in a special restoration quilt wash. We recommend only spot cleaning if necessary.
