Description

This taupe velvet vest with embroidery uses a neutral, warm taupe base as a canvas for burgundy florals with soft sky blue leaves and stems. The color combination is a little unexpected, cool blue against a warm brown red, and it’s part of what makes this piece stand out in our Suzani vests collection. A matching burgundy vine border runs along the neckline and hem. At House of Stala, this is one of the vests we point to when someone wants embroidery that isn’t strictly matched to one mood.
