FAQs

A Jaf Kurd saddlebag, or khorjin, is a traditional double bag woven by Kurdish nomadic tribes inhabiting the borderlands of Persia and Iraq, used historically for transport and storage during migrations.

These pieces are typically constructed using hand-spun wool for both the dense pile and the foundation warp and weft, often utilising natural vegetable dyes to achieve rich, saturated hues.

Authenticity is determined by evaluating the quality of the wool, the presence of genuine natural dyes, hand-spun characteristics, authentic structural wear, and traditional tribal geometric motifs typical of the period.

These versatile woven pieces can be mounted as wall art, displayed on a flat surface as a table centrepiece, or used as a compact floor accent to introduce texture and heritage to contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming with a screen attachment, avoiding direct prolonged sunlight to prevent dye fading, and keeping the textile clean and dry to protect against moth damage.
