Sometimes I come across an image that stops me in my tracks. That happened when I came across this:
Suzani Coverlet
When I saw this serene bedroom with a Suzani coverlet I thought “Where have you been all my life?!” Vintage suzanis have now been added to my growing thrift shopping wish-list.
A Suzani is an embroidered tribal textile made in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries. There are also beautiful Mexican Suzanis.

Now that Suszanis are on my radar, I see them everywhere. Like when I picked up the most recent edition of Yakima Magazine and saw one draped over Laurie Kanyer’s couch. Beautiful!
Here are a few others that have caught my eye–

To see more beautiful textiles head over to Etsy and enter “Vintage Suzani” into the search bar.
What are you crushing on lately?
