REEL HISTORY: You’ve probably seen suzani artwork on cushions, curtains, or that embroidered throw you found in a vintage shop.
But did you know it began in the courtyards of Bukhara and Samarkand, where Tajik women stitched their hopes and blessings into cloth?

What the West calls “boho décor” and is now obsessed over was once a textile prayer, each thread symbolising life, fertility, and divine protection.
