Vintage Embroidered Coat - SUN

Vintage hand embroidered Gujarati textiles from the 1950’s, repurposed into stunning coats. This particular coat embroidered with a circle of six swastikas on the back.

The swastika symbol  is a very ancient religious and cultural symbol, dating back many thousands of years. It has been used as a symbol of good fortune in almost every culture in the world and continues to be used as a symbol of divinity and spirituality in Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.  In the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit, swastika means “well-being”, and symbolizes surya ('sun'), prosperity and good luck,

Coming from a time and place so culturally different to now, these pieces bring their own story and history  - including patches, stains and bleeding of some colour - and imbue our current world with a sense of time past, colour, spirit and energy. One off pieces that are timelesss and to be treasured.
