Splurge: Suzani, the embroidered
textiles traditionally made by brides-to-be in Uzbekistan,
have become all the rage in interior design circles. This
one-of-a-kind 1930 example, below left, in brown, features
vegetable dyes and elaborate hand-stitching. It can cover
a twin bed, $625. From Distant, 4516 Hollywood Blvd. (323)
669-0829, distant-la.com.
Scrimp: At $148 for a twin coverlet -- below right, in yellow
-- Garnet Hill's Suzani, is a contemporary spin on the traditional
design that is more suitable for a dorm room than a dowry
chest. It is embroidered in a simple crewel stitch, and
the reverse side is in solid cotton. Also available in larger
sizes from www.garnethill.com, (800) 870-3513.
