The Chitral coat, also known as the Choogha coat, is a traditional Afghan garment designed for both men and women. It is commonly worn indoors or for quick outdoor tasks, offering both comfort and style.
Outside Central Asia, we appreciate the warmth, elegance, and craftsmanship of oriental design and the coats are worn oversized. The cozy, comfortable choogha coats have become a popular choice as mid-season outerwear, blending tradition with modern European fashion.
This coat is traditionally crafted without buttons, allowing it to be worn open or secured with a waistband. It features two pockets, reminiscent of a European dressing gown, adding practicality to its elegant design.
Expertly made from fine kempt wool, the Chitral coat is richly adorned with intricate Oriental embroidery, enhancing its cultural significance. The partial silky lining ensures a luxurious feel and added comfort.
IMPORTANT: Each piece is created using traditional weaving and embroidery techniques, making every coat unique. Minor variations in size, color, and pattern may occur, highlighting the artistry and authenticity of this timeless garment.
