Ariella Vest

 

 

Handmade in Afghanistan. A golden expression of joy and craftsmanship.

 

The Ariella is a radiant tribute to Afghan artistry entirely handmade by skilled women artisans who work from home, preserving traditional embroidery passed down through generations.

 

This vest features dense hand embroidery in pink  threads on a warm brown base, evoking the natural tones of Afghan landscapes. Each stitch is precise and purposeful, reflecting the patience, pride, and talent of its maker.

 

Lined and trimmed with soft natural mongolian shearling, the ariella Vest offers warmth, comfort, and refined texture. Its silhouette brings traditional design into a modern, wearable form — elegant, grounded, and full of life.

High quality

Even after buying this product a long time ago, the quality is top notch!! Its worth its value.

Penny Lane dream coat!

The quality is incredible. I'm currently saving up for my next one. Size L is roughly AU size 12/14, however if you have bigger arms (as I do) the sleeves may initially be snug but the fabric softens over time :)

Love the service

Customer Service is great :) Very responsive and informative.

HERITAGE COLLECTION

Centuries of Afghan craft, one coat at a time

Rooted in centuries-old Afghan craftsmanship, every Heritage piece is hand-embroidered by women artisans in Afghanistan, using techniques passed down through generations. Each one takes weeks, sometimes months, to complete, and no two are ever the same.

Ariella is one of them: made by hand in small numbers, ready to ship in 5–7 days. When this piece sells, that is the end of it.
