Black Velvet Handwoven Chapan

The Colour of Night. The Soul of the Silk Road.

The Black Velvet Chapan is not just outerwear — it is a living archive of Central Asian craft. Its deep, light-absorbing black body holds its depth in any light, the kind of colour that has commanded presence and dressed ceremony for centuries.

The Fabric

• Outer body: Premium cotton velour — dense, real velvet in a rich, deep black with a signature crinkled texture that shifts and shimmers with movement.
• Embroidered panels: Alo Bakhmal — a rare, 100% hand-woven traditional velvet from Central Asia (80% real silk, 20% high-quality cotton). Bold ikat motifs in crimson, gold, cream, and sage woven against the black ground, with a grand symmetrical arabesque across the back and swirling ikat forms on the front pockets.
• Lining & fill: High-quality cotton batting for exceptional warmth.

The Craft

The Alo Bakhmal panels are hand-woven by master artisans in Uzbekistan. No two pieces are identical — each chapan is carried like a story passed down through generations.

*Embroidery may differ with each Chapan as they come from different artists.

Care: Dry clean only.
