Textile Love: Oh Suzani

The Samarkand suzani are my favorites--I love the bold red, black, and red or pink designs


I love the bold designs of these suzanis, the exquisite textiles from Uzbekistan. Suzani means needlework, and they were traditionally used as wedding coverlets. My favorites are the large bedcovers from Samarkand--the black, white, and red designs. You can see more of these beautiful textiles online at Maison Ottomane or at Marla Mallett.
