FAQs

A heybe is a traditional double-sided saddlebag woven by nomadic and village communities in Anatolia, primarily used for carrying personal belongings and provisions during migration or trade.

Authentic pieces are traditionally constructed using hand-spun sheeps wool for the pile and foundation, frequently combined with goat hair for added durability along the edges and base, dyed using natural vegetable colorants.

Authentication involves examining the hand-spun wool characteristics, natural dye variations, tribal geometric motifs specific to the Bergama region, and the integrity of the flatweave bridging sections between the two pockets.

These pieces can be displayed flat as wall hangings, framed behind UV-protective glass, or placed across benches and large storage chests to showcase traditional tribal craftsmanship.

Preservation requires keeping the item out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, vacuuming gently with a mesh screen attachment, and maintaining stable indoor humidity levels to protect natural fibres.
