The black iris is Jordan's national flower, rare and protected.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTORY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe black iris blooms in Jordan's highlands each spring, when the rains come. From a distance, the petals look black. But hold them to the light and they reveal themselves — deep violet, shimmering purple, a color that keeps secrets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE DESIGN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Sawsan is a floor-length embroidered open abaya in black Italian crepe, with purple iris embroidery and hand-set crystal beads on the front panels and sleeves. It is fully lined and comes with a matching black sheila.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach iris is worked in two tones of purple, deep violet against lilac, with its petal edges traced in violet crystal beads. Olive green stems and blade-shaped leaves are lined with green beads, so the whole design shifts as light moves across it. The blooms gather at the chest and fall down each front opening; at the cuffs, the embroidery wraps the sleeve and the edge is cut to follow the flowers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItalian crepe gives the piece a heavier hand and a fluid, unhurried drape. The body is fully lined, so nothing shows through. Embroidery is designed in-house and executed with precision. Every bead is set by hand using the Tambour technique.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned for Eid, weddings, and any occasion that calls for presence.
