VAQARby Shirin & Shiva VAQAR

Vaqar is an Iranian womenswear brand based in Tehran, created by self-taught sisters Shiva and Shirin Vaghar who were born and brought up in Tehran, Iran. Since their childhood they found the art of designing to be the best way to comprehend and express themselves, and as a result their passion became reality in 2013.
By modernizing traditional garments using maximal and minimal elements, all their collections follow a common purpose which reflects their personal beliefs: the development of contemporary human alongside classic values.
