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 Shahsevan vanity bag is a compact flat-woven textile pouch crafted by the nomadic Shahsevan tribes of the Moghan region in Azerbaijan, traditionally used to hold personal items, cosmetics, or mirrors during nomadic migrations.

These bags are typically hand-woven using hand-spun wool for both the warp and weft. Weavers utilise flatweave techniques such as extra-weft wrapping, slit-weave kilim, or soumak to create dense, durable patterns with natural plant-based dyes.

Authentic pieces feature geometric motifs, including hooked diamonds and step-edged polygons. They display characteristic colour palettes of saturated reds, deep blues, terracotta, and unbleached wool accents, along with fine hand-spun wool yarn construction.

A small flat-woven pouch can be professionally mounted and framed inside a shadow box to serve as textured wall art, laid flat on a coffee table tray, or styled standing upright on a bookshelf alongside vintage ceramics.

Display the textile away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Dust gently using a low-suction vacuum with a soft brush attachment, and keep in a climate-controlled room protected against moth damage.
