Astea: Embrace Slow Fashion with Handmade Seaside Creations

ABOUT ASTEA

ASTEA was born by the sea—where waves meet pine forests, saunas steam, and time slows down. We started sewing ponchos for ourselves after swims, saunas, and cool summer evenings. Then came requests from friends, and their friends. That’s when we knew—we were onto something real.

Our poncho collection is inspired by the rhythm of the Baltic coast and the peaceful moments it gives: Smiltynė, Karklė, Šventoji, Dreverna… places where nature whispers, and life feels lighter.

Each ASTEA poncho is handcrafted in small batches from soft, natural fabrics. Designed for comfort and freedom, they’re made to move with you—from the sea to the sauna to your own backyard.

It’s more than a garment—it’s a way to slow down, breathe deep, and feel the now.

This is our story - now make it part of yours!

WHY A PONCHO?

Because there’s nothing better than wrapping yourself in something soft, warm, and natural after a swim, sauna, or summer rain. ASTEA ponchos are made to hold that moment a little longer—to keep you cozy, calm, and connected to nature.

Crafted from high-quality, skin-friendly fabrics, each poncho features a soft terry blend: bamboo for extra absorbency and antibacterial comfort, cotton for breathability, and a touch of polyester on the outer layer for a subtle, elegant sheen made from 100% natural cotton for those who love pure simplicity.

Easy to throw on, perfect for changing, and effortlessly stylish - they're your go-to companion for slow days in nature.

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.
