What is Balochi Embroidery (Soozandoozi)?

Balochi embroidery is a renowned Iranian textile art passed down through generations of Baluchi women in southeastern Iran. In the Polivaar technique, artisans first count the warp and weft threads to outline the design, and then fill it in using colorful silk or wool threads with exquisite detail. Mirrorwork is added for extra visual brilliance and cultural symbolism. This art form is officially recognized by UNESCO and listed as part of Iran’s Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Each piece is unique, not just in design but in the story and skill behind every stitch.
