Ikat & Suzani at Material Recovery (Via Made By Girl)

If you love Ikat and Suzani textiles from East & Central Asia you'll be excited to check out Material Recovery on Etsy. They carry several antique embroidered textiles along with a few vintage and antique pieces of furniture. I selected a few of my faves below... 

Take a peek at their shop, the cushions they carry would be a great addition to anyone looking to bring some color into a DRAB looking living room! 

Do any of you already own ikat or suzani cushions??

  1. Suzani is one of my absolute favourite ethnic handicrafts, and I have been looking around for ages for the perfect Suzani throw pillow. I never thought to look on etsy.

    Thank you so much for posting this! Your blog is an amazing resource for me.
