Marlene Jacket is decorated all over with colorful Suzani embroidery. The jacket has a kimono silhuette with dropped shoulders and long sleeves. Pockets are placed at the side seams, and the jacket comes with a detachable belt for a more feminine fit.
This Suzani item is not only full of beautiful colors – the embroidery is also made by hand. The Suzani embroidery is made by Indian artisans, using the tambour to create a unique and vivid Suzani embroidery pattern. The name “Suzani” comes from the Persian word "su-zan," meaning needle. The Indian artisans use a hooked needle instrument called a tambour to create the intricate chain stitching that is the hallmark of Suzani embroidery. When buying our Suzani embroidered styles, you are supporting local artisans and traditional Indian handcraft.
