Description

Our forest green velvet jacket has a showpiece back. Two yellow tigers face each other between the shoulders, their striped tails meeting in an arch, surrounded by red and white lotus flowers, light blue crescent moons and red crosses. The front is scattered with red and light blue starburst flowers, fan shaped blooms and moons. It’s part of our collection of Suzani jackets at House of Stala. The deep green velvet gives the bright embroidery a rich backdrop, and it looks just as good worn open as it does from behind.

Care Instructions

The Twin Tiger forest green velvet jacket pairs natural cotton velvet with detailed embroidery in six thread colours. To keep the tigers and florals bright:

• Dry clean only (recommended). A professional cleaner will protect the shape and keep the red, white, light blue, orange, yellow and black threads from bleeding into the forest green velvet.
• Use a handheld steamer for wrinkles rather than a hot iron.
• If you need to hand wash, stick to cold water only, and don’t let it soak.
• Never use a washing machine.
• Keep the iron off the embroidered areas. Direct heat can damage the twin tigers, lotus flowers and crescent moons.
• Store on a hanger, away from direct sunlight, to protect the forest green velvet and the red, white, light blue, orange, yellow and black embroidery.

With a little care, the forest green velvet and the tiger embroidery will stay vivid for years.
