Handmade Velvet Jackets

TLS Handcrafted Velvet Suzani Jackets

A celebration of colour, craftsmanship, and story — our TLS Handcrafted Velvet Suzani Jackets are wearable art pieces, lovingly made in small batches in India.

Each jacket begins with rich velvet fabric, chosen for its soft texture and luxurious drape. Skilled artisans then bring the garment to life through detailed embroidery inspired by the ancient tradition of Suzani.

The History of Suzani

The word Suzani comes from the Persian word suzan, meaning needle. Suzani textiles originated centuries ago in Central and South Asia, where they were traditionally hand-embroidered by women as treasured family heirlooms, often gifted for weddings and celebrations.

Known for their symbolic floral patterns, vines, suns, and natural motifs, Suzani designs represent beauty, abundance, protection, and joy.

Today, this timeless embroidery tradition lives on through talented makers who continue these techniques by hand.

How They Are Made

Every TLS Velvet Suzani Jacket is created through a careful artisan process:

• Velvet fabric is cut and tailored into an easy free-size silhouette
• Embroidery patterns are marked by hand
• Skilled makers stitch each motif using traditional needlework techniques
• Every thread is layered with patience, precision, and character
• Final finishing ensures each jacket is ready to be worn and loved

Because much of the work is done by hand, no two jackets are ever exactly the same.
