Kantha Suzani Vest

Kantha is a traditional embroidery technique used in the Indian subcontinent for hundreds of years, and is characterized by the many rows of short, continuous stitches. Kantha textiles are typically made by hand by women in rural areas, layering and stitching together old saris or other discarded fabrics. The Suzani embroidery, a traditional form of needlework originating from Central Asia, is then applied by machine on the panels of vintage kantha to decorate them. This is a statement reversible vest that comes with a detachable belt to enhance the silhouette. The vest has wide shoulders and pockets on the sides, each is one-of-a-kind and comes in one size.
