{"product_id":"1960s-embroidered-afghan-coat-1","title":"1970s Afghan Shearling Coat – Handmade Suede Jacket with Embroidery \u0026 Fur Trim","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA beautifully softened and deeply expressive Afghan coat, entirely handmade in the 1960s-70s  from soft suede and fully lined in natural sheepskin. This piece embodies everything that makes Afghan coats so enduring — craftsmanship, warmth, and a striking yet wearable presence — while standing apart through its unusually soft, lighter-toned embroidery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe palette is what makes this coat particularly special: delicate pastel embroidery in soft blues, yellows and muted tones, a rare departure from the more commonly seen bold contrasts. Combined with the exceptionally soft suede, it gives the coat a gentler, almost sun-faded elegance that feels perfectly suited to transitional seasons — from crisp spring evenings to autumn light, and equally at home layered for winter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe silhouette is easy and wearable, with a flattering straight cut and enough room to layer comfortably. The long, shaggy shearling trim frames the coat beautifully, adding movement and texture, while the back panel features a striking triangular motif — a subtle nod to traditional Afghan design elements.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs with all truly handmade garments of this era, this coat carries small irregularities and variations that speak to its construction and age. It is not factory-perfect, but rather a one-of-a-kind piece shaped by hand over time. There are no structural flaws — only the gentle imperfections that make vintage pieces like this so unique and impossible to replicate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe sheepskin lining is soft and warm, offering natural insulation, though those with very sensitive skin may find it slightly itchy when worn against bare arms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGood vintage condition with signs of wear consistent with age. The suede shows visible marks and a natural patina throughout. There is some thinning of the shearling under one underarm, and general wear in high-friction areas. These are not flaws, but part of the coat’s history and handmade nature, and do not affect its wearability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sehnsucht Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52872063353179,"sku":null,"price":235.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0937\/6278\/1531\/files\/D5B5B38A-765E-400D-8CA5-67ABF8F18D10.jpg?v=1777130123","url":"https:\/\/www.sehnsuchtcollection.com\/products\/1960s-embroidered-afghan-coat-1","provider":"Sehnsucht Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
