Description

This brown velvet vest with embroidery moves away from florals altogether, using a warm brown base and light blue thread to form paisley shapes, medallion motifs, and small figure like details across the front panels. It’s one of the more graphic, pattern heavy pieces in our Suzani vests collection, closer in spirit to some of the folk motif jackets in our Suzani jackets collection. At House of Stala, we describe this one as suzani inspired rather than strictly floral, since the shapes lean more geometric and symbolic than botanical.

• Velvet base: Warm brown
• Embroidery thread: Light blue
• Motifs: Paisley shapes, medallions, small figures
• Layout: Asymmetric across the two front panels

Fit & Sizing

The brown velvet vest with embroidery has a straight, open front cut that sits at the hip.

Good to know: the paisley and medallion motifs are placed asymmetrically across the two front panels, so no two sides match exactly.

Care Instructions

• Store on a padded hanger to help the velvet keep its shape
