1970s Afghan Shearling Coat – Handmade Suede Jacket with Embroidery & Fur Trim

1970s Afghan Shearling Coat – Handmade Suede Jacket with Embroidery & Fur TrimA 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. The palette is what makes this coat particularly special: delicate pastel embroidery in soft blues,

Fur trim intact

and soft cream — makes a bold yet balanced statement

One of the closure hooks is rusty

Hips (full skirt allowance): up to approx

but due to the cut and fluid drape there is a little natural give through the bodice and underarms

ruffled neckline

known for its expertly tailored occasion dresses with strong silhouettes and elaborate detailing

but can fit a variety of sizes depending on desired fit and bust size

The butterfly motif in particular feels symbolic and intentional

though those with very sensitive skin may find it slightly itchy when worn against bare arms
