Suzani comes from the Persian word for ‘needle’ and the word refers to embroidered hangings or fabric coverings, The birthplace of suzanis is in what is now Uzbekistan, the area along the Silk Road.
As children, nomads and village girls alike began putting together their dowries to show their future families their skill and industriousness.
And their homes became veritable cocoons of splendid textiles that were not only functional and beautiful but also served as status symbols.
