{"product_id":"70s-uzbekistan-suzani-robe","title":"70s Uzbekistan suzani robe","description":"\u003cp\u003eA robe I acquired from a lovely lady during my buying trip to Paris at the start of this month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, two of them have arrived in a different pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are made from Suzani, a handmade embroidered fabric from Uzbekistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are just so cute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI occasionally come across this \"Suzani\" fabric in Europe, but it's often too expensive to buy. It's a beloved textile—I've seen it used as store displays, and a dealer I like even hangs it in his home—so this is actually the first time I've come across it made into clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I asked that lovely lady about the Suzani, she explained that it comes from a culture where women hand-weave it to take with them when they get married. It's a wonderful tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd I suppose, for some reason or another, it was turned into clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular Suzani has a black background, which makes it look incredibly cool. While it’s certainly still colorful, I prefer the black base. Given how it’s usually used, I feel like they tend to be a bit more flamboyant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs for why there is so much of it in Europe, she explained that one reason is that the Soviet Union (Russia) was once in Uzbekistan, leading to many Russians migrating there, and also that many Europeans visited as travelers, which caused a lot of it to flow into the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s not the only reason, but from my own research, it seems it was originally a traditional item that gradually changed for commercial purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’m so grateful for such wonderful knowledge, as I’ve always been drawn to this fabric. Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material is cotton—it’s so fine and high-quality that I wonder if it’s silk-blended? (Apparently, there are even pieces made of actual silk fabric.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe size is roughly a men's Large.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnless you have a particularly large build, both men and women can wear it as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lining is well-made with cotton fabric, and the pattern is beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quality is high; what a luxurious piece to throw on! Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s unlikely I’ll find another one like this, and quite simply, it’s incredibly cute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly recommended!! It’s perfect for the coming season as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lady I bought it from mentioned that since the embroidery thread might bleed when washed, it’s better to only clean the soiled areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter touching and examining it myself, I agree that there is definitely a risk of that, so dry cleaning is the safest bet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shopify-section\" id=\"shopify-section-product-template\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-enable-history-state=\"true\" data-cart-enable-ajax=\"true\" data-extra-tab-content=\"\" data-show-extra-tab=\"false\" data-image-zoom-type=\"lightbox\" data-section-type=\"product-template\" data-section-id=\"product-template\" id=\"ProductSection\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Product\" itemscope=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__description rte\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e※送料込み\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e \/ Free Shipping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eModel height - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eモデル身長\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e174cm mens, 167cm woman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMaterial - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e素材 Cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSize - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eサイズ fits wide (womens S - mens L)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMeasurement on flat - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e平置き実寸\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e(cm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eLength \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e着丈\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 106.5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWidth \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e身幅\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 67\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eShoulder width \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e肩幅\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 47\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSleeve length \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e袖丈\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e 65\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eCondition - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eコンディション 問題無し。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"TOTO.CZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47860181139799,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/3097\/3881\/files\/IMG_0186_41eb1109-ce6a-4844-870d-7143648ccea0.jpg?v=1711884014","url":"https:\/\/totocz.com\/en\/products\/70s-uzbekistan-suzani-robe","provider":"TOTO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
