Description

This sage green velvet suzani vest takes a graphic, high contrast approach, pairing a dusty sage base with bold red flowers and solid black rosette motifs. A black vine border with fine red piping runs along the neckline, front edges, and hem, tying the two thread colors together. It’s a bolder color pairing than our other sage green pieces in the Suzani vests collection. At House of Stala, we like how the two color palette keeps this piece feeling striking rather than busy.

• Velvet base: Dusty sage green
• Embroidery thread: Red, black
• Motifs: Red florals with curling stems, solid black rosettes
• Trim: Black vine border with red piping

Fit & Sizing

• Silhouette: Structured, statement piece

Good to know: the black rosette motifs sit lower on the panels than the red florals, so the color balance shifts from red at the shoulder to black near the hem.
