The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Baluch storage bag, historically known as a khorjin or double saddlebag, is a utilitarian textile handwoven by nomadic Baluch tribes in the border regions of Persia and Afghanistan. These bags were crafted to transport household items, grains, and bedding during nomadic migrations.

Baluch bags are primarily constructed using hand-spun sheeps wool on a dark wool or goat hair warp. They frequently combine flatweave, extra-weft float decoration, and knotted pile sections to create textured geometric patterns with natural dye colour palettes.

Authentic antique Baluch textiles are characterised by deep, natural dye palettes including dark reds, blues, teracotta, and dark brown tones. They feature distinct geometric motifs, fine hand-spun wool, complete selvedges, and original backing fabrics preserved from their original functional structure.

These woven textiles can be mounted as framed wall art, hung on custom display rods, or stuffed to serve as floor cushions. Their rich colours and geometric patterns complement contemporary, bohemian, and traditional interior spaces.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only attachment without a beater bar to prevent fiber damage. Keep the textile away from direct sunlight to avoid dye fading, and consult a professional rug restorer for specialized cleaning.
