All Suzani Accessories are up-cycled out of Suzani blankets or wall hangers that we handpicked along our travels through India. All one-of-a-kind and true pieces of art, that will hopefully be cherished among generations. The chosen suzani fabrics are turned into these unique bags and pillowcases by the vintage masters Deephak and his brother Kishore: a small family business in Jodhpur, Northern India, with whom we’ve been co-creating these special Suzani capsule collections since 2020.

All Suzani pillowcases and bags are made out of leftover fabric. We make patchwork accessories in order to assure no waste and 100% usage of our fabric. We hope that you continue the story of this item with great pride to celebrate the uniqueness and love that has been put into every stitch of this piece of art.

BANJARA

The nomadic tribes or the Banjaras were wandering groups. They did not limit themselves with the boundaries and binds of the urban life. This spirit of roaming from places to places reflected a sense of liberty.

Banjara embroidery is a combination of colourful threads, design patters, mirror work, stitching patterns appliqué or patch work. Embroidery is done on thirteen different colours of base fabric among which dark blue or red are commonly used.

All the Banjara fabrics that we use are truly vintage and carry their story proudly.
The chosen fabrics are turned into these unique pillowcases by the masters Deephak and his brother Kishore: a small family business in Jodhpur, Northern India, with whom we’ve been co-creating these special items since 2020.
