Gorgeous hand embroidered suzani from Northern India. Each one of these pieces is a truly remarkable artwork with thousands of tiny hand stitches joining together to make a beautiful and intricate pattern.

These suzani are lovingly hand stitched in the small villages of India's northern states. Each is a heavy cotton base and then woollen embroidery thread. If done by one lady it can take up to 8 weeks to create one full size piece as the work is fitted in around her other duties, like raising the kids and keeping the home. Often though the ladies join forces and work around one blanket at a time, this allows for faster work and better gossip. 

We love them on beds and couches but also as wall tapestries or room dividers, they drape beautifully as they are a heavier cotton base. They are a lovely textured piece wherever you choose to place it in your home. It would make the perfect wedding pressie too! 

Fair Trade.
