FAQs

A Jaf Kurd bag, traditionally known as a khorjin or saddlebag, was hand-woven by the nomadic Jaf tribe inhabiting the border regions between Iran and Iraq. These utilitarian textiles were created to store and transport household goods during seasonal migrations, featuring distinctive geometric knotting patterns.

Traditionally hand-woven using hand-spun wool on a wool warp and weft, these bags combine asymmetrical pile-knotted fronts with flat-woven plain-weave backs. Vegetable dyes derived from local flora provided rich indigo blues, madder reds, terracottas, and natural ivory shades.

Authentic Jaf Kurd pieces typically feature the characteristic diamond latch-hook motif, saturated natural-dyed hand-spun wool, and heavy pile construction. The top border usually retains woven slits or loops designed for lacing the bag securely shut during transport.

These versatile textiles can be mounted as decorative wall hangings, stuffed and repurposed as unique floor cushions, or displayed flat on sideboards and shelving to add historic texture within bohemian or maximalist decor schemes.

Vacuum gently without a rotary brush, handle carefully to protect original loops, and keep out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. For deep cleaning, consult a specialist rug restorer experienced in antique hand-woven textiles.
