Description

A striking fusion of structure and softness, this vintage-inspired jacket features an all-over geometric cross-stitch embroidery in rich crimson, forest green, and ivory. The heavy threadwork creates a "carpet-like" texture that is both durable and luxurious. Reversible in spirit, the interior reveals a traditional purple Kantha-stitched lining, offering a beautiful contrast. With its clean lines and standing collar, this open-front piece is a high-fashion take on Jaipur’s storied textile heritage.

Condition Guide

We take great care to clean, examine, and restore items if need be, and grade them from New, being in the best condition possible, to Distressed, which might make a great display piece but will not stand the test of wearable time.

Our jewelry is handcrafted and may contain minor imperfections due to human error. We take pride in these imperfections because they reflect the artistry of human hands and support the people who create them.

At Tijori, we curate treasures, not trends. Because our collection features a unique mix of vintage finds and independent labels, our return policy is designed to support the sustainable lifecycle of each garment.

About Tijori

Based in Philadelphia and curated by Janki Patel, Tijori is a "treasure chest" of South Asian fashion. Each piece is handpicked to blend heritage with sustainability—from preloved vintage and deadstock finds to independent designer labels and our in-house jewelry line, &DAUGHTERS. We celebrate personal expression over excessive consumerism, giving high-quality textiles a second life.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Check these out & let us know if you have any more questions!

How do I know if an item will fit?

We try to provide detailed garment measurements (Bust, Waist, Length) for our items. We recommend comparing these to a similar piece you already own rather than relying on the tag size, as South Asian sizing varies significantly. If you have any questions, ask in the chat box or email us at shoptijori@gmail.com

Can items be altered?

Many of our vintage and preloved pieces have internal margins for loosening or can be easily taken in by a tailor. Please check the "Condition Report" on the product page for notes on specific garment construction.

What does "Preloved" or "Vintage" actually mean?

These are items that have been previously owned or are from older, "deadstock" archival collections. Each piece is hand-curated by Janki for its quality and "storied character".

How do you grade the condition of items?

We use a strict grading scale: Pristine (like new), Excellent (minimal wear), and Gently Loved (minor, noted flaws). Small imperfections are common in vintage textiles and add to their cultural authenticity.

How is shopping at Tijori "conscious"?

By choosing preloved or deadstock items, you are participating in a circular fashion economy that reduces waste and gives high-quality textiles a second life.

Do you buy clothes or take consignments?

Yes! We love "sharing closets." Please visit our "Sell With Us" page or contact us atshop@tijori.com to learn more about our current curation needs and process.
