A Piece of Me

A Piece of Me’ is a startling look of embroidered poetry which encapsulates what it means to give a piece of yourself to the world. The hand-crafted muscles which make up this velvet blazer are reminiscent of the blood and sweat that goes into our creative journey. Falls and failures mark every path toward growth. Hand-crafted muscle fibres ripple across the fabric in crimson-red threading, making this one of Salim Azzam’s most extraordinary pieces. This piece recognises the hurdles along the way which can break your wings. Like the hoopoe that inspired this piece, we must sometimes stumble before we soar.

This is a love letter from Salim Azzam and all the artisans who, for nine years, have meticulously brought our stories into the world with care and precision, each act of embroidery an act of profound love. We have given a piece of ourselves to each thread we embroider, we have given a piece of ourselves to all the people who wear our clothes. You wear a piece of me.

This astonishing piece of craftsmanship is the result of 85 days of meticulous embroidery by Lamees & Haifa .
