I love when clothes carry a story. And I love when this story goes back centuries and is traditional and meaningful for generations. Can’t put into words how meaningful this precious collection of brand new fur trimmed Suzani Vests is for me. Because Suzanis have been following me for ages now and only this year I came across this breathtaking embroidery technique in detail. Suzani is a type of embroidered and decorative tribal textile made in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and other Central Asian countries. The word derives from the Persian “suzan” which means needle. They have become highly collectable and valued for their beautiful decoration and fine craftsmanship. Suzani fabrics usually have a cotton or silk base, which is embroidered in silk or cotton thread. Popular design motifs include sun and moon disks, flowers, leaves and vines, fruits and occasional fish and birds, all of which have been thought to be the suzanis with spiritual powers, offering protection or strength to their owners. Suzanis are colored with vegetal dyes. And now adorn my new collection of fur trimmed vests... * These “works of art” are already available in store and some of them online on www.silviagattin.com, where more unique pieces will be uploaded this week! Stay tuned! #suzanivest #handmade #heritage #suzani #afghanistan #shearling #shearlingvest #silviagattin #unique #oneofakind #christmaspresentideas

We kicked off the most wonderful time of the year with another amazing Pierc-Ink Party yesterday (see some pictures in my stories)!! It’s so great to see all your creative inputs and drawings eventually on your skin.. We had lots of fun, thank you all for coming! Yesterday I received another shipment from Afghanistan with selected handcrafted fur trimmed Suzani Vests (like the one I am wearing) which I will show you later more in detail! They are absolutely stunning.. 🤩 #christmastime #silviagattin #hollandstrasse9 #piercinkparty #newin #suzanivests #christmasgiftideas

Afghanistan.. A country full of wonders.. Being constantly inspired by the elements of the ‘70s, I teamed up again with ancient hippie trail artisans and sourced incredibly warm and cozy coats and vests. This luxurious collection is handcrafted out of Kabul and features traditional Afghan fur trims and embroidery. My tireless aim is to give new life to traditional vintage and also create new pieces in partnership with small family run businesses and local communities. Our collections pay fair wages and support local artisans. Find the whole collection online on www.silviagattin.com and in our Vienna based concept store. #newin #wintercoat #furvest #handmade #afghanistan #slowfashion #vintagefashion #silviagattin

The best thing about your life is that it is in a constant state of design. This means you have, at all times, the power to redesign it. Make moves, allow shifts, smile more, do more, do less, say no, say yes. Just remember, when it comes to your life, you are not just the artist but the masterpiece as well 💫 New kilim masterpieces in stock again! And don’t miss our HAPPY FRIDAY weekend with 10 % off on all Silvia Gattin products in our online shop (use code HAPPYFRIDAY) and in our concept store - today and tomorrow, Nov 29+30 🤩 #backinstock #kilimboots #kilimbootsabdillah #silviagattin #neverendingbestseller #theoneandonly #handmade #morocco #unique #sustainablefashion #upcycle #vintage #bohostyle #thankyou @alikatze001 @meanwhile.in.newyork for capturing this moment with me (including the honey 😁)
