The name Suzani comes from the Farsi word ‘suzan’ or ‘needle’. These panels were traditionally made in Central Asian by brides' families as part of their dowry, and were presented to the groom on the wedding day. Floral motifs are sketched onto the fabric prior to being hand embroidered stitch by stitch, making each panel truly unique and works of art. Some pen marks may be visible and remain on the final piece. These panels are often divided between many women in their village or families to embroider, and are then stitched into one-of-a-kind jackets to be kept for years to come.
