Each and every vest, like a new painting, is one of a kind, reflecting the freedom and spirit of adventure of Central Asia.
Altaika has one master craftsmen, the process for each vest is long, personal and very human. Altaika doesn’t mass produce and never plans to, that destroys the spirit of adventure.
There is no set pattern, every vest is the unique handiwork of highly skilled local craftsmen.
The vests are created from individual sheepskin pieces which are placed together in an artful mosaic pattern and hand sewn together.
Altaika is committed to using resources well and efficiently, we use pieces of high quality sheepskin which would otherwise be discarded due to their unique shape.
That uniqueness of each piece is the very quality which allows for such beautiful and balanced mosaic patterns.
Each vest, like a painting, bears the mark of its maker and is a product of its unique environment. Altaika vest are proudly made in the mountains of Central Asia, where the air is cleaner and the mountains are taller, where the spirit of adventure still soars above the peaks and calls out to all. The dedication to craftsmanship, lust for all things natural and love for beauty are what drive us to create each Altaika piece, we know that perhaps not all can appreciate it, but to all who do, we are proud to be part of your adventure!
Live like you want. Live Altaika.
