The Afghan posteen's rebranding as the "Penny Lane coat" is another example of a cultural garment being stripped of its origins for commercialization. While many people associate this style with '60s-era hippies or brands like Charlotte Simone, its true roots lie in Afghan culture, where it has long been crafted and worn for warmth, durability, and identity. If want this style of coat, consider supporting brands that work directly with Afghan artisans and preserve the garment's original craftsmanship.
