Afghan Postencha famous as Penny Lanny coat
Afghan shearling coats, or Postenchas, became popular in the 1960s and 1970s among the hippie movement and celebrities like The Beatles. Originally made for the cold northern regions of Afghanistan, these coats symbolized the hippie ethos of individuality and cultural exploration. Many hippies travelled to Afghanistan to buy authentic coats, which were known for their warmth and style.
Coats are made from vintage embroidered fabrics, Afghan textiles, leather, and upcycled materials from old coats, sourced from regions like Kabul, Kunduz, Ghazni, and Badakhshan.
After cleaning and repairing materials, artisans with experience of 40 years in Posteencha Industry handcraft each coat using traditional hand embroidery and hand sewing techniques, ensuring both beauty and practicality for cold winters.
This meticulous craftsmanship ensures that each Afghan coat is a unique work of art, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Afghanistan.
