ABOUT BUKHARA SUZANI

Starting in the 19th century, Uzbek women working in groups produced a wide range of amazing embroidered textiles, wall hangings, bed covers, shawls, table covers and prayer mats for their households and for their daughters' dowries. The process began with home spun, hand loomed cotton cloth, woven or narrow looms. Up to six cotton panels would be sewn together to create a large cloth, and then, using a graphite or charcoal stylus, the outlines of their designs would be drawn directly onto the cotton. Most designs were regional, with minor variations, and could be attributed to specific areas based on the motifs and the technique used. The Bukhara Suzani, after which our shop is named, is a famous style unique to the Bukhara region of Uzbekistan.
