Delivering to Germany

Custom craft in Hamburg

Hamburg’s Afghan community — one of Germany’s oldest — has kept dress, embroidery and silver traditions alive far from the Hindu Kush. What the city has lacked is a way to commission new, well-made pieces rather than settle for whatever surfaces at markets.

Frequently asked in Hamburg

How is the embroidery made?

By hand, on the needle — counted thread-work in the Kandahari (khamak) tradition or the denser Kuchi styles, depending on the piece. The maker, not a machine, sets every motif.

Can I request a custom colour palette?

Yes — send your palette or a reference photo with your enquiry. We confirm the exact thread colours with you before the embroiderer begins.

What does delivery to Hamburg cost?

Shipping is quoted with your commission and depends on weight and speed. Tracked courier delivery to Germany is typically 10–16 working days after making is complete.
