Burgundy cotton is woven on a backstrap loom to become a pair of attractive face masks with unique handwoven textures. Artisans from the Balam Atelier craft the masks with orange motifs embroidered in the center and elastic bands to stretch around the head. They are single-layered and are both washable and reusable.

This gorgeous sling bag boasts spectacular iroki hand-stitched embroidered motifs in a delightful range of traditional Uzebek patterns, namely from the famous city of Shakrisabz. The adorned strap, delicate trim and charming beaded tassels further accent its style, showcasing the unmatched craftsmanship of Uzbek artisan Yulduzoy Mamadiyorova. This unique accessory features a thoughtfully designed interior complete with a convenient zippered pocket.

A small flock of birds sits among the floral blooms of a huge tree in this lovely pair of cushion covers. Designed by artisan Amit Moza from India, white cotton is used as a base for the gorgeous aari embroidery. This particular type of embroidery, a specialty of Kashmiri artisans, involves a hooked needle that creates the unique chain-stitch seen on these elegant covers. Shades of blue thread are used for the friendly fowl, which makes them stand out beautifully against the light, earthy tones of green and brown chosen for the tree. The backs of the covers are plain white, and feature a slit opening for the cushions.

This precious travel bag is expertly crafted using upcycled suzani textiles and a true testament to Uzbek hand embroidery mastery. Kana Morii’s stunning design celebrates the artistry of every stitch as vibrant shades of pink, yellow, purple, white, green and dark blue adorn its surface in exquisite hand-embroidered floral motifs. The charming beaded tassel on the side adds a touch of elegance, transforming it into a fashionable small handbag. Boasting a fully lined interior and a secure zippered closure embellished with a zamac floral charm, this accessory ensures your beauty, makeup and travel essentials are always in place and secure.

Please expect variation in the pattern placement due to the use of upcycled fabric, making each piece a unique work of art.
