The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A chyrpy is a traditional ceremonial mantle worn by women of various Turkmen tribes in Central Asia. It is distinctively worn draped over the head and shoulders, featuring decorative non-functional sleeves hanging down the back.

Traditional chyrpys are constructed using a woven cotton or silk foundation fabric, heavily embellished with hand-stitched silk embroidery threads in geometric and stylized floral motifs.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display fine silk needlework executed in traditional stitch types, natural dye colour variations, hand-spun ground fabrics, and characteristic tribal patterns unique to specific sub-groups such as the Tekke.

These garments are frequently mounted on custom padded acrylic or archival boards and framed as wall art. Alternatively, they can be displayed suspended on custom iron stands inside display cases.

Keep silk textiles out of direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fibre breakdown and colour fading. Cleaning should strictly be left to professional conservators specialising in historic textiles.
