Our Afghan waistcoats are either handmade and ethically produced in Afghanistan or vintage pieces locally sourced in Afghanistan. When you buy one of our coats you are supporting local Afghan women and their communities. We work directly with an Afghan family, paying them upfront to produce authentic Afghan (waist) coats using traditional methods and style. Each coat sold directly benefits families and local communities. Afghanistan has a rich history of creating traditional and unique handcrafted clothing, we want to share this beauty and history, whilst supporting local communities.
