STAN on Instagram: "Me and my dad in C. 1950’s Suzani Jackets Made from Suzani’s from Samarkand, Uzbekistan, Central Asia, from circa 1950-1960. Amongst the rigours of a nomadic lifestyle, Suzani’s from the late 18th and 19th centuries found its daily use in a yurt with exposure to the elements during migration. This wasn’t conductive to the preservation of these textiles. It’s therefore rare to find really old Suzanis. The oldest survivors are from the late 18th/early 19th centuries."
