Such a stunning piece. Coming from my personal collection of gems. This beautiful rasberry color holds between pink, purple and burgundy red. Full coverage satin-thread embroidery, likely done by hand. This style is common in Kutchi, Rabari, and Banjara tribal textiles from Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Afghanistan. Mirror Work (Shisha embroidery): Signature embellishment in Banjara and Kutch embroidery traditions. The cropped, boxy fit, which aligns with traditional tribal women’s jackets worn over lehengas or dresses. I love how the mirrors capture the light perfectly when you move.

keep in mind this old piece shows signs of wear as pictured.
Most garments I sell are vintage. Defects are always mentioned but keep in mind I sell garments that are often 30 years old, some are 40 or 50 years old even. Signs of wear can be expected of vintage. It’s part of the charm. Make sure you checked all pictures and descriptions before you purchase.
