FAQs

An ilgich is a traditional embroidered wall hanging or storage bag traditionally crafted by Kyrgyz nomads, often used to store small household items or adorn the interior of a yurt.

These textiles generally feature hand-spun wool, cotton, or silk foundations decorated with vibrant chain stitch or surface embroidery using naturally dyed threads.

Authentic pieces typically display hand-spun threads, natural vegetable dyes exhibiting subtle tonal variations, traditional tribal motifs, and age-consistent wear on the foundation fabric.

Such pieces can be mounted on a custom display rod or framed behind UV-protective glass to serve as a textural focal point in a living room, hallway, or study.

To preserve the fibres and natural dyes, keep the textile away from direct sunlight, avoid hanging in humid areas, and gently vacuum with a mesh screen barrier if cleaning is necessary.
