FAQs

A Qashqai vanity bag is a small, traditionally woven nomadic container crafted by the Qashqai confederacy in south-west Persia, historically used by tribal women to store personal items or cosmetics.

These bags are typically constructed with a hand-spun wool pile woven on a wool foundation, frequently featuring vegetable-dyed yarns and sturdy flatweave or kilim backs.

Authenticity is identified through natural vegetable dye palettes, hand-spun wool irregularities, traditional tribal motifs such as geometric medallions, and authentic wear consistent with nomadic use.

Such textile pieces can be framed as wall art, displayed on small stands, or incorporated into eclectic interiors to introduce rich texture, heritage, and colour.

Preservation involves keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, avoiding excessive moisture, and gently vacuuming with mesh protection to remove dust.
