Jackets

Ananda was a craftsman in Rajapura who used to make beautiful coats with patchwork embroidery only for the affluent. He thought his best work should only be appreciated by the wealthy. One day, a wealthy businessman named Suresh—who was infamous for mistreating the underprivileged—commissioned Ananda to make a jacket.

Ananda was working when he saw Suresh abuse an old man who was begging outside his workshop. Ananda became extremely disturbed and saw that the real purpose of his work was to provide warmth and dignity rather than merely luxury. He decided to start making coats for people who needed them instead of the cold-blooded rich.

Using his finest materials, Ananda began by making the beggar a masterpiece jacket. Soon, rumors about Ananda's kindness were spreading across the town. His conversion to charity inspired others in the community to start helping the less disadvantaged as well.

One day, Ananda gave one of his jackets to a young orphan named Rina. Everyone was moved by her happiness and appreciation, even Suresh, who asked for pardon for his previous actions. After extending her forgiveness, Ananda urged Suresh to use his riches to support others.

Moral of the story: Our true value is determined by our compassion and generosity towards others, not by our financial status. Everyone lives in a more compassionate and just world when we use our talents to help and encourage those who are in need.

Each patchwork embroidered jacket is hand-crafted by the most talented artisans using a process that involves sustainability, skill, and creativity. Priyanka Raajiv uses a zero-waste, circular design approach where scrap materials from unused fabrics generated at the design studio are given a new life in upcycled designs.

The garment construction is an elaborate process. Our design team spends hours ideating the best way to utilize the leftover fabrics such as side cuttings, and sample materials into modern designs. Then our team of skilled artisans hand-weave each jacket to create a design that is a piece of wearable art. This procedure guarantees that each jacket we make is a one-of-a-kind creation that embodies the commitment and talent of our artisans.

Embroidered Jackets can be worn to formal events as well as casual get-togethers. They are a great option for layering, to add glamour to any outfit, or in cold weather where layering is needed.

Casual Outings: For a stylish, effortless look, pair your upcycled patchwork jacket with jeans and a basic top, co-ord set or kurta set. The jacket gives your look a splash of color and individuality.

Workwear: Choose a more subdued style for an office event. For a chic yet refined look, team your jacket with a pencil skirt or more traditional pieces like a saree, kurta set or co-ord set.

Festivals and Weddings: To stand out at weddings and embrace the festive spirit in the air, pair a silk brocade jacket over an elegant saree or lehenga.

Cocktail Parties: These events are known for their fun and casual nature. Layer a sequin jacket over an evening gown, playful lehenga or saree.

1. Keep It Simple

Patchwork embroidered jackets' designs and vibrant colours often become the centrepiece of any outfit. Keep the rest of your look simple to highlight the jacket:

Solid Colours: Wear the jacket with a solid neutral colour co-ord set. This will help to balance the boldness of the embroidery.

Minimal Accessories: Avoid wearing excessive jewellery. Simple accessories such as stud earrings, a thin bracelet, or a delicate necklace, can go well with it.

2. Mix and Match

While keeping things simple is important, don't be scared to play around with prints and patterns to create a look you love.

Printed Clothing: Wear your jacket over a printed dress,saree or lehenga. Look for designs with colours that contrast with the embroidered details on the jacket. An intriguing contrast can be created by using subtle geometric patterns, stripes, or flowers.

Textured Materials: Combine knits, lace, and velvet with textured materials for your jacket. This gives your ensemble more depth and presents your jacket in an interesting way.

3. Layering

Adding layers to your clothes is an excellent way to give them depth and versatility:

Blouses: Wear a stunning blouse with embroidery under your jacket during the cooler months. This gives it some warmth and elegance.

Summer Layers: Wear your jacket over a sleeveless kurti, a delicate co-ord set, or saree for a more versatile look. For a summer evening when you need a little bit more coverage, this is ideal.

More than just a style statement, embroidered jackets are an ode to India's exquisite craftsmanship and rich cultural legacy. We at Priyanka Raajiv are dedicated to providing you with the most stunning jackets that complement your style!
