Guarantee
Hand woven ikat is practiced in many countries and cultures around the world with the most bold and colorful coming from the Fergana Valley region in eastern Uzbekistan. Combining this artful heritage and modern styling, Uzbek designer Abduvali creates his wearable masterpieces. The narrow woven cotton ikat panels are meticulously stitched together to create one continuous pattern from side to side. This attention to detail is evident in each piece from the talented artisan in his Tashkent studio.
The oversized jacket is based on the traditional ‘Chapan’ worn during the cold winter months. This mid-weight version features an oversized fit, extra-long sleeves to be rolled to the desired length and a self tie belt to further adjust the fit. Layering beautifully over your favorite sweater or dress, the jacket is cotton lined and includes side seam pockets.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Artisan Organization: Abduvali
Country:
"Our craft holds a deep connection to the rich heritage of the Uzbek people, who have a long history of wearing clothing made from silk and cotton. We take pride in blending old designs with new ones, utilizing organic cotton, handmade silk ikat, silk bahmal velvet, and vintage suzani embroidery. More than selling clothes, we offer an experience, a piece of history, and a source of joy, as our creations bring happiness to those who wear them.
"My inspiration derives from the captivating tapestry of Uzbek culture and the fascination it sparks in people from all corners of the world. We've successfully spread our products globally, and the positive feedback from our customers fuels our passion. We seamlessly meld ethnic designs with modern trends, with dreams of flourishing as a business, expanding production, and providing employment opportunities for women. Above all, our ultimate aspiration is to make Uzbek culture renowned worldwide. As our production expanded, we ventured into crafting garments from handmade ikat fabrics, establishing collaborations with skilled suppliers in Samarkand and Margilan.
"I am a husband and a father of four - two daughters and two sons. My children's dreams of higher education and carrying on the craft fill my heart with hope and determination. In 2014, I faced a daunting diagnosis of a retroperitoneal tumor, with doctors predicting a grim outcome. Though initially consumed by despair, the support of my family bolstered my spirits. I turned to faith, praying for healing, and focused solely on the positive. Through treatment and recovery, I learned the resilience of the human spirit - how setting goals and having determination can lead to triumphant outcomes. My educational journey led me to specialize in Design and Art. Post-graduation, I found myself working at the Museum of Economic Development, curating the department dedicated to historical apparel. This role ignited my love for ancient clothing and ikat fabrics. Subsequently, I joined the Artistic Expertise as an antiques expert. Yet, it was in 2015 that my true calling unfolded as I embarked on the path of ethnic clothing production, a craft I passionately pursue to this day. My parents instilled in me a deep appreciation for family values and the responsibility to care for one's kin, a principle I hold close to my heart.""
