ABOUT ASTEA

ASTEA is a family-nurtured slow fashion brand born by the Baltic Sea in our beloved hometown of Klaipėda. Surrounded by pine forests, salty air, and the rhythm of the waves, we create pieces that embody sustainability, comfort, and freedom.

We are small, flexible, open, and creative - guided by meaningful work, community spirit, and the human touch. That’s why as many steps of our process as possible are entrusted to skilled hands, not machines.

Mindfulness, sustainability, love for our homeland, gratitude for the present moment, and respect for people and the environment - this is our answer to fast fashion and mass manufacturing.

We invite you to choose a life where less means more, where every garment tells a story and every stitch is made with purpose.

ASTEA – slow fashion with a heartbeat.

WHY ASTEA?

Because the best things in life are often the simplest - a warm wrap after a swim, the feel of fresh air on your skin, the quiet comfort of slowing down. At ASTEA, we design and handcraft each piece so you can hold onto those moments a little longer.

Our ponchos, sauna wraps, turbans, and accessories are made from natural, skin-friendly fabrics chosen not for the lowest price, but for how they feel and how they last. Soft cotton, moisture-loving bamboo, and carefully selected details work together to keep you comfortable, let your skin breathe, and stand the test of time. For purists, we offer 100% natural cotton pieces - gentle, simple, and honest.

Every stitch is placed by hand, every product made to order, so nothing is wasted and every item has a purpose. This isn’t mass production - it’s thoughtful creation, shaped by care, time, and the belief that what you use every day should bring both comfort and joy.

WHERE WAS ASTEA BORN?

ASTEA was born in a small, green village on the edge of Lithuania’s seaport, Klaipėda - where pine forests meet salty sea air. It’s in this peaceful blend of nature, wind, and water that the idea of slow, thoughtful living took shape - and so did our brand.
