Aheste Concept Store

Designer fashion, art and craft from Iran

PRODUCT: An Iranian concept store featuring a carefully-curated selection of art, illustrations, ceramics, jewelry, accessories, clothes, textiles and decorative objects. Creativity is inspired by ancient history, poetry, epic poems, architecture and often reinterpreted into a more contemporary style. Each item is unique, handmade and has an interesting story behind it that the owners will be happy to share. The clothing and jewellery become pieces of wearable art, given the exquisite complexity, attention to detail, quality of the materials and craftsmanship. HIGHLIGHT: The store works almost exclusively with Iranian women artists and artisans, and aims to introduce in Barcelona a different, lesser-known side of Iran as well as its rich cultural heritage. INTERIOR: A welcoming space bathed in a warm light, brimming with objects that you will definitely not find anywhere else. RECOMMENDED: The name Aheste (‘slowly’ in Farsi) is an invitation to indulge, to take the time to explore everything that this unique place of exchange and connections has to offer.
