Couldn't load pickup availability
This Traditional Afghan Velvet Waistcoat is a reimagined heritage piece, originally worn by Afghan men, particularly within Pashtun communities, and now embraced as a unisex garment for both men and women. Historically crafted from velvet, this waistcoat remains faithful to its roots with its short, above-the-waist cut, bold embroidery, and rich cultural symbolism.
Each piece is made using authentic velvet, the original and most traditional fabric used for these waistcoats. The design features Cherma Dozai embroidery, a signature Afghan style that is both intricate and structured. While customization is available, embroidery patterns remain within traditional limits to preserve the garment’s cultural identity.
This waistcoat is suitable for special occasions such as weddings, cultural ceremonies, and festivals, as well as daily wear for those who want to carry heritage into the modern day. Its versatility and timeless design have led to its widespread popularity among Afghan women in recent years, though the design itself originates from men’s formalwear.
