Golden thread embroidered Bukharian vest - AS IS
    Click to enlarge

This is “as is “ vest because of a white line on the right panel of the vest. I am not exactly sure as to what caused this line. The line is so clearly visible on this picture because I chose the lighting to show you this “as is“ factor. In reality, this “as is“ part does not jump at you and is not so visible unless you decide to inspect the vest.

All sales of “as is” items are final.


Bukhara, an ancient city along the Silk Road, has been famous for its golden and silver thread embroidery for centuries. Hand embroidered items similar to this one could be worn only by royalty. It is only in the 20th century the embroidered clothes became available to “ordinary” folk.

Products embroidered with golden or silver threads are very festive. In Uzbekistan they are usually worn for special occasions such as weddings. These slippers are entirely hand made.

Detail of the embroidery:

Base fabric:      Velour
Color:               Bordeau
Size:                Medium
Care:                Dry clean only

Testimonial

Dear Nilufar,
I've been very busy lately, so I couldn't write when it first arrived, but I wanted to take the time to thank you for the lovely "green comb" scarf. I have become a huge fan of Uzbek ikat thanks to your site, gave the first one as a gift to my mother, who loved it, have recommended the site to a textile-loving friend, and am planning to order lots more from you when I get back to the UK in October! By the way, I'm curious as to what the original Uzbek name for ikat is - I thought ikat was an Indonesian word? And lucky for us, it's a huge fashion trend at the moment!
best wishes,

[Nilufar's response to a question part:] Uzbek word for ikat is abr (originally Persian word meaning “a cloud“). However, an Indonesian term ikat is also widely used these days.
