Description

This tiger embroidered velvet jacket in black saves its biggest moment for the back. Two yellow tigers face each other across the shoulders, their tails curving into an arch below them, framed by pink lotus flowers and peach crescent moons. The front is scattered with hot pink starburst flowers, little crosses and moons, so it still looks considered when you’re facing forward. It’s part of our collection of Suzani jackets, and it has a bit of mischief to it. The black velvet base makes every colour pop, and it’s easy to wear with almost anything.

Size Guide · ONE SIZE

Garment measurements. Slight variations may occur, as each piece is handcrafted.

Fit

This Twin Tiger embroidered velvet jacket in black has a relaxed, boxy silhouette, made to be worn open and layered rather than fitted. It comes in one size.

• Silhouette: relaxed, boxy fit with a dropped shoulder and standing mandarin collar
• Sleeves: long, full length, finished with a wide cuff
• Sizing: one size, made to be worn open and relaxed rather than tailored to a specific fit.
• Good to know: the twin tigers, lotus flowers and crescent moons are positioned by hand during construction, so the placement may differ slightly from the reference photos

Materials

Yellow, hot pink, peach, light blue and black thread bring the tiger embroidered velvet jacket to life, worked across a black cotton velvet base. The yellow tigers carry black stripe details, and the pink and peach florals add warmth around them.

• Exterior: 100% cotton velvet, handmade with detailed embroidery
• Embroidery thread: yellow, hot pink, peach, light blue and black
• Lining: cotton
• Closure: open front without a closure
• Collar: standing mandarin collar in matching black velvet
• Note: small differences in thread tone and motif placement come from the handmade process

Care Instructions

This tiger embroidered velvet jacket in black is handmade with detailed embroidery on natural cotton velvet. The twin tigers and the bright florals need careful handling to keep their colour, so here’s what we recommend:

• Dry clean only (recommended). Take your jacket to a professional cleaner to preserve its shape and prevent the yellow, hot pink, peach, light blue and black threads from bleeding.
• Steam gently at home using a handheld steamer to remove wrinkles safely.
• Hand wash in cold water only if strictly necessary, and avoid soaking for a long time.
• Never use a washing machine.
• Never iron directly on the embroidery. A hot iron can damage the threads of the twin tigers, lotus flowers and crescent moons.
• Store on a hanger, away from direct sunlight, to protect the black base and the twin tigers, lotus flowers and crescent moons.

With gentle care, the black velvet and the tiger and lotus embroidery will stay vivid for years.
